In response to Shinde’s campaign projecting himself as part of the double engine government with PM Modi and giving a short shrift to his deputy, Fadnavis loyalist and BJP MP Anil Bonde likened Shinde to a frog on the well. A frog, he said, cannot become an elephant no matter how much air you pump into it. Not willing to have their leader insulted thus, Shiv Sena MLA Sanjay Gaikwad responded saying the BJP grew in Maharashtra only by piggybacking on Bal Thackeray. “They should introspect where they stood in 1987 and who helped them grow in the state.

• • • • Supreme Court verdict on Maharashtra: What was the 2022 political crisis in the state? Supreme Court verdict on Maharashtra: What was the 2022 political crisis in the state? Rival groups of Shiv Sena – the Eknath Shinde group and the Uddhav Thackeray group – petitioned the SC last year in relation to the political crisis in the state. Here is a recap of the allegations of horse trading, alliances, resort politics and more. The Supreme Court will soon give its verdict today on the political turmoil triggered in Maharashtra last year in June that led to then Chief Minister and Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray stepping down from his post, after his party’s MLA Eknath Shinde broke away to assert his own faction’s supremacy. Shinde then became the CM in July 2022 with the BJP’s support. The list of business for the day in the Supreme Court showed a unanimous verdict from the five-judge Constitution bench that is headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY and includes Justices MR Shah, Krishna Murari, Hima Kohli and PS Narasimha. What was the Shiv Sena case? Rival groups of Click here for more These various alliances were preceded by a hung Assembly in the 2019 elections. The BJP emerged as the party with the most seats (105), but it fell short of the majority mark of 145 in the 288-seat Assembly. Shiv Sena (56) and the NCP (54) followed in terms of seats’ share. Along with the Congress and support from some other parties, a government was formed. Why was there a politic...

New Delhi: The Supreme Court today admitted The Supreme Court has also assured status quo on the issue that has been the bone of contention since the split of the party last year. The Uddhav Thackeray faction had urged the Supreme Court to decide the disqualification proceedings against Mr Shinde and the MLAs belonging to the rival camp. Eknath Shinde was named as the Shiv Sena chief at a key meeting of the party yesterday. This came days after the poll body's decision. Here are the updates on the case: The Supreme Court rejected the suggestion of the Uddhav Thackeray faction of the Shiv Sena to decide the disqualification proceedings pending against Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and MLAs belonging to his camp, saying it cannot assume the role of the Speaker as doing so will have "serious ramifications". Nationalist Congress Party Chief Sharad Pawar today reacted on the battle between the Thackeray and Shinde factions and said "I've never seen the Election Commission take away control of one party." Mr Pawar earlier said he "doesn't want to get involved in the controversy regarding the name and symbol given to Eknath Shinde." He adviced Uddhav Thackeray to accept the election body's decision and said "It will not impact as people will accept (the new symbol). It would just remain in the discussion for the next 15-30 days." The Supreme Court admitted Uddhav Thackeray's plea today.

In a big relief for Chief Minister Eknath Shinde the Supreme Court on Thursday refused to interfere with the formation of the Shiv Sena government with the support of BJP, as Uddhav Thackeray resigned without facing a floor test. “Status quo ante cannot be restored as Thackeray did not face the floor test and tendered his resignation. Hence the Governor was justified in administering the oath to Shinde with the support of the largest party BJP,” said Chief Justice DY Chandrachud while delivering a verdict on pleas related to the Maharashtra political crisis. The BJP in Bihar criticized Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s meeting with Uddhav Thackeray and reminded him of the Shiv Sena’s alleged excesses against Hindi-speaking migrants. State BJP chief Samrat Choudhary accused Kumar of appearing in court (darbaar mein haazir hue) of Thackeray, referring to the JD(U) leader’s visit to Mumbai as part of a drive to forge nationwide opposition unity ahead of Lok Sabha polls. Choudhary added that Kumar runs JD(U) like a fiefdom, which is true for all regional parties. Choudhary also referred to Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav as the crown prince (yuvraaj) who accompanied his boss to Mumbai. Choudhary urged Bihar CM to answer the people of the state who are disgusted since the memories of humiliation at the hands of the Shiv Sena are still fresh in their minds. Former Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari said, “I think after SC’s decision, I don’t have anything to say. Whatever I felt wa...

MUMBAI: A front-page advertisement issued by the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena in newspapers across Maharashtra triggered a political controversy on Tuesday as it featured pictures only of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the chief minister, leaving out deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, and claimed that a survey had revealed that more people in the state preferred Shinde for the CM's post than Fadnavis.

While the Eknath Shinde camp has moved the SC against the disqualification proceedings against them, the Uddhav Thackeray faction has challenged the formation of the Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis government and the subsequent proceedings. NCP's Jayant Patil said, "I don't see any possibility of MVA to go separate from Uddhav Thackrey. No, if Uddhav ji has supported Draupadi Murmu ji then it doesn't mean he is in NDA now.

MVA is still intact. Subhash Desai's letter is signaling at making the same person cm again whom once removed and in Maharashtra you will see this happening." In a press conference, NCP spokesperson Mahesh Tapase said that Shiv Sena (Uddhav Faction) has not officially issued any statement declaring their support for Droupadi Murmu as the presidential candidate.
