Sena Seeks Disqualification Of 12 MLAs As Rebels Grow In Strength
The Maharashtra crisis peaked with 37 Shiv Sena MLAs of the Eknath Shinde faction writing to the Governor and Deputy Speaker, naming him the legislature party leader and completely sidelining Uddhav Thackeray. Mr Shinde's explosive move comes shortly after Team Uddav Thackeray filed disqualification applications against 12 rebels with the Deputy Speaker, which may help tweak the numbers in the Assembly in case of a trust vote. Mr Shinde has argued that the application is illegal; NDA's Presidential candidate Droupadi Murmu is set to file her nomination today. She'll contest against Opposition candidate Yashwant Sinha, and other top stories.
