Reacting to the Supreme Court order that it would not be able to reinstate the Maha Vikas Aghadi government led by Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray, as he resigned without facing the test and the Maharashtra Assembly Speaker must decide on a disqualification petition, leaders from the Thackeray camp claims that their stance was validated.
Mr. Thackeray, reacting to the developments, said, “The Maharashtra Assembly Speaker should take the decision immediately.” “People are waiting for us to send them (NDA government) home. It’s high time to save democracy,” he added, in a joint press conference with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his Deputy Tejashwi Yadav.
Uddhav loyalist and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut said they are happy with the Apex court’s verdict and Chief Minister Eknath Shinde should resign immediately on moral grounds.
