Breaking the suspense over the rebel camp’s extended Guwahati sojourn, Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde on Tuesday claimed that he had the support of 50 MLAs and would soon be returning to Mumbai.
Speaking in Guwahati, Mr. Shinde, along with other Sena MLAs in his camp, including Uday Samant, emphatically said they were still in the Shiv Sena and that their actions were aimed at preserving the party and the ‘Hindutva’ ideals of late Sena founder Bal Thackeray.
