Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar on Sunday left for New Delhi to meet with Solicitor General Tushar Mehta ahead of the Supreme Court’s scheduled hearing on October 30 of the plea filed by the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) faction, which has been urging the Speaker to expedite disqualification proceedings against legislators of the ruling Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena group.
Speaking to reporters at the Mumbai airport while leaving for the national capital, Mr. Narwekar said his Delhi visit was a pre-scheduled one.
“There are a couple of meetings scheduled in Delhi, including one with the Solicitor General…I will take legal advice [on the Shiv Sena hearing] and then decide over it,” he said.
