โ€œWill Never Cheat For Powerโ€: Eknath Shindeโ€™s Cryptic Tweet After Sena Sacks Him From Whip Post

The crisis unfolded in the state a day after the ruling Maha Vikas Agahdi (MVA) alliance โ€“ comprising the Sena, NCP and Congress โ€“ suffered a setback in the Maharashtra Legislative Council polls.

Mumbai: Eknath Shinde, the Shiv Senaโ€™s chief whip, was terminated on Tuesday after he reportedly moved to a Surat hotel in Gujarat with 21 other MLAs.

Eknath Shinde tweeted at the same time that he would never cheat for power.

โ€œBalasaheb has taught us Hindutva. We have never and will never cheat for power regarding Balasahebโ€™s thoughts and Dharmaveer Anand Dighe Sahebโ€™s teachings,โ€ he said in the tweet.

Despite having enough votes to win four candidates, the BJP managed to win all five seats it contested in the polls. The Sena and the NCP both gained two seats, while Congress was dealt a blow when one of its two contenders was defeated.

Sanjay Raut, a Shiv Sena MP, warned this morning that there is a plot to destabilise Uddhav Thackerayโ€™s government in the โ€œsimilar pattern as Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.โ€ โ€œShiv Sena is a loyalist party. Weโ€™re not going to let that happen โ€œhe stated

The state governmentโ€™s stability, according to NCP and Congress leaders, is not under jeopardy.
