Legislative Council Polls |
A day after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) trumped the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in the Legislative Council polls, the stability of the State government has come under question as senior Sena Minister Eknath Shinde reportedly left Mumbai along with his group of MLAs to be stationed at Surat in Gujarat.
Mr. Shinde is said to have taken 11 party MLAs with him in what appears to be a rebellion within the saffron party against Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. In Monday’s council poll, a total of 12 Sena MLAs cross-voted in favour of BJP candidates.
