Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Says Fully Support Uddhav Thackeray
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, whose Nationalist Congress Party is an ally of the Shiv Sena in Maharashtra, has made it clear his party stands with Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray in this hour of crisis. The Shiv Sena rebel group led by MLA Eknath Shinde has claimed it has 42 MLAs with them now, more than the 37 required to approach the Speaker for recognition as a faction, among other possible scenarios.
