Mumbai: Amid the ongoing political crisis in Maharashtra following a rebellion by senior Shiv Sena minister Eknath Shinde and others, the loyalists of party president and Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray took out a two-wheeler rally in Mumbai and held protests in parts of Pune against the dissident leaders on Sunday. Sena workers and its local functionaries, led by the Pune city unit president Gajanan Tharkude, staged 'jode maro' (hit with footwear) protests at two places - outside Balgandharva auditorium and in Kothrud - and raised slogans against the rebels. On Saturday, Rebel Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde said Shiv Sena workers should understand that he was fighting to save the party from the clutches of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). Mr Shinde's appeal came after Sena workers loyal to party president and Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray staged protests against the rebel MLAs led by him by defacing their banners, hurling stones in some places and vandalising the office of an MLA in Pune.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday heard the pleas relating to the rebellion in Shiv Sena and said that some matters in the Uddhav-Shinde legal battle, if necessary, may go to a larger bench. The Apex Court posted the matter for hearing on August 1 as the Uddhav Thackeray camp sought a status quo to be maintained while the Shinde side snubbed ex-Maharashtra chief minister for not being able to gather the support of even 20 MLAs. The bench, led by CJI NV Ramana, asked both Thackeray and Shinde factions to frame issues they wanted to argue, make one compilation and submit it preferably by next Wednesday. The Supreme Court bench also asked the respondents to file a common affidavit if they want to deny any allegations. Disqualification proceedings, the election of Speaker, recognition of the whip and floor test among other issues are the subject matters of the dispute. Shiv Sena’s parliamentary party split on Tuesday, days after the split in Maharashtra assembly, with 12 of its 19 Lok Sabha members shifting allegiance to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and declaring two-term member Rahul Shewale as their leader in the Lower House. Rahul Shewale, the leader of the rebel faction of the Shiv Sena, claimed that they have aligned with the BJP as per the wishes of Thackeray, who was himself making similar efforts in June last year but backtracked later. The claim was, however, rubbished by the Thackeray faction. Latest Updates in Sena Vs Sena Crisis: -Eknath Shinde Vs Uddhav Thackeray: Al...

On Wednesday, a day after the original ad appeared that implied Shinde was more popular than Fadnavis in Maharashtra...
