The Assam Congress on Friday requested dissident Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde to leave Assam along with more than 40 other Maharashtra MLAs.
A letter from State Congress president Bhupen Kumar Borah, asking the Maharashtra MLAs to take their political issues back home, was delivered to Mr. Shinde around the time the latter exited a 5-star hotel for an undisclosed destination. He returned to the hotel alone late in the late afternoon, in the personal car of a senior Assam police officer.
State BJP leaders entrusted with ensuring hospitality for the Maharashtra MLAs said Mr Shinde could have gone for a meeting in the company of Assam BJP parliamentarian Pallab Lochan Das.
