Uddhav Thackeray must resign, says BJP’s Narayan Rane

Maharashtra political crisis |

Claiming that the tripartite Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government of the Shiv Sena, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Congress) in Maharashtra was no longer in existence after Shiv Sena Minister Eknath Shinde intra-party rebellion, Union Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Narayan Rane on Tuesday called upon Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray to voluntarily tender his resignation.

“It is a question mark whether Uddhav Thackeray knows the Constitution. Of your [Shiv Sena’s] 56 MLAs, 35 have left [siding with Mr. Shinde]…You are in a minority. What is he [Mr. Thackeray] waiting for? Ideally, he should have submitted his resignation to the Governor,” said Mr. Rane.
