Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray today wrote to rebel Shiv Sena MLAs and urged them to return to Mumbai and talk to him.
Shiv Sena rebel Eknath Shinde today declared that he will go to Mumbai and "take Balasaheb Thackeray's legacy forward" as he spoke to reporters outside a hotel in Guwahati where he and other rebels have been staying for a week.
Eknath Shinde, the leader of a staggering coup against Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, claims that he has the backing of around 50 MLAs, nearly 40 from the Shiv Sena.
Sources say Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari may ask the Maharashtra government to prove majority in the assembly sometime this week.
In a relief to rebel Shiv Sena MLAs, the Supreme Court on Tuesday gave them time till July 12 to file their responses to the disqualification notices issued to them by Deputy Speaker Narahari Zirwal.
Acting on the pleas filed by the rebels, the Supreme Court also sought responses from the Deputy Speaker, chief whip of Shiv Sena Sunil Prabhu and leader of Shiv Sena Legislature Party Ajay Chaudhary and the Centre.
