Deputy chairman of Maharashtra Legislative Council and Shiv Sena leader Neelam Gorhe refused to comment. There has been no explanation available from Shiv Sena on why Mr Thackeray has not yet formally resigned as an MLC after he announced his decision on the night of June 29. Mr Thackeray's son Aaditya is an MLA from Mumbai. When Uddhav Thackeray took oath as the chief minister in November 2019 after the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) was formed, he was not a member of the either House of the state legislature. He was elected as MLC on May 18, 2020, with a tenure of six years.

Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray's decision to resign as Maharashtra Chief Minister has now come back to haunt him as the Supreme Court's order ruled in the favour of the Eknath Shinde's faction in relation to the Shiv Sena battle. In response to Thackeray's petition, the constitutional bench of the top court stated the restoration of Uddhav's government as he resigned voluntarily, without facing a floor test. In an exclusive conversation with Republic Media Network over SC's verdict, state minister from Shinde's faction Deepak Kesarkar reminisced how Sharad Pawar in his Marathi autobiography Lok Maze Sangati mentioned that he advised the former Maharashtra CM to not resigned from his post.

He referred to the time of undivided Shiv Sena when Ekanth Shinde along with over 40 MLAs launched a rebellion which later led to the collapse of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government. Pawar stated he and other members of the cabinet also sensed the lack of political deftness in Thackeray, something which a chief minister needs. READ | ...

As the Supreme Court delivered its judgment in the Maharashtra MLAs disqualification case on Thursday, legal and constitutional experts turned their focus on the resignation letter submitted by Uddhav Thackeray as chief minister. The resignation, the court said, was voluntary and therefore Uddhav Thackeray could not be reinstated. “The Supreme Court in today’s judgment has clearly said that it could have reinstated Uddhav Thackeray had he not resigned voluntarily. It is the voluntary resignation of Uddhav Thackeray that seems to have gone against him as the apex court,” said advocate Ujjwal Nikam, who has handled several high-profile cases representing the state. Nikam said the contents of Thackeray’s letter held the key. “The apex court has not quoted the contents of the letter… We still do not know the contents of the letter. If the letter contains words like having to resign due to adverse conditions that prevailed, then it means he did not resign voluntarily and was forced to resign. In such a case, the Supreme Court bench, as per its ruling today, could have brought the government back,” Nikam said. Follow Mahar...

Thackeray also expressed gratitude to NCP and Congress parties for supporting him during the address. He also appealed to Shiv Sainiks to not interfere in the celebrations of rebel camp tomorrow. "I am asking the Sena not to interfere and let them (rebels) ] celebrate the bringing down of the govt of the son of Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray. I need just your love (Sainiks)," he said. Let the rebels who grew politically because of Shiv Sena and Balasaheb Thackeray get joy and satisfaction of pulling down his son from the post of chief minister," Uddhav Thackeray said.
