Mumbai:My judgment will give justice to Maharashtra, state assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar said Wednesday, denying Opposition allegations that he was delaying his decision on the disqualification petitions filed by the two rival Shiv Sena factions...
Disqualification petitions are pending against 34 MLAs of the two rival factions 20 (out of total 40) from the Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, and all 14 from the Shiv Sena (UBT) led by former CM Uddhav Thackeray...
The factions stem from Shindes rebellion last year, which caused a split in the Sena and led to the fall of the then Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, comprising the undivided Shiv Sena, the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)...
On its part, the Shinde-led Sena believes the petitions against its MLAs are nothing but an attempt by the Shiv Sena (UBT) to keep its flock together.. The Supreme Court has already taken a decision and given legitimacy to the government, its spokesperson Naresh Mhaske told ThePrint, referring to the courts refusal in May to reinstate the former MVA government under Thackeray..
On 18 September, the apex court asked the Speaker for a deadline on the disqualification proceedings, prompting Narwekar to issue notices to all 54 MLAs from both Shiv Sena factions..
