After the Supreme Court on Friday rapped Maharashtra Speaker Rahul Narwekar yet again for procrastinating the hearing over the disqualification proceedings against the ruling Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena MLAs, the Opposition Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) said that the top court had exposed Mr. Narwekar’s “frivolous attitude” towards the law and the Constitution.
Remarking that the time had come for the ruling Shinde government to go, Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut said that the SC had dealt Mr. Narwekar “a hammer blow” for his foot-dragging over the hearings on the disqualification petitions.
“He [Mr. Narwekar] has tried his best to save this illicit Eknath Shinde-led government. However, now the time has come for it to go. I am confident that this government will fall before 2024,” said Mr. Raut, a Rajya Sabha MP.
