The Maha Vikas Aghadi allies on Sunday took a dim view of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde sharing a stage with Chief Justice of India U.U. Lalit amid the Supreme Court hearing petitions of the Uddhav Thackeray-led Sena and the CM camp.
State NCP president Jayant Patil, whose party is a constituent of the MVA along with the Sena and Congress, in a tweet said, "A serious case of challenging the legitimacy of the Eknath Shinde government is being heard by a Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court."
"In such a case, it is improper that Shinde shares stage with the Chief Justice of India. This is not as per protocol."
