Watch: NDTV Ground Report From Surat - Tracking Rebel Sena MLAs
Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde is sheltering in place at a resort in Surat in Gujarat. Two Sena leaders met the sulking Mr Shinde for two hours at the hotel this evening. The fact that the G-22 he leads is being hosted in a state ruled by the BJP reveals the behind-the-scenes moves of the rebellion. The BJP president in Maharashtra, Chandrakant Patil, said that the party is open to forming a government with Mr Shinde.
