Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Thursday said the Sena is ready to quit the MVA government if the group of rebel legislators camping in Assam returns to Mumbai in 24 hours and discusses the issue with Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.
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.
Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray stepped out of his home past midnight amid a worsening scenario for the Shiv Sena with the rebellion against Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray getting stronger by the day.
Shiv Sena has been vulnerable to rebellions in its ranks and has seen revolts by prominent figures on four occasions, three of them under the watch of its founder Bal Thackeray, with Eknath Shinde becoming the latest leader to join the list.
