Forty Maharashtra MLAs are in Assam’s Guwahati: Rebel Shiv Sena leader

Guwahati: Shiv Sena’s dissident leader Eknath Shinde on Wednesday asserted that 40 MLAs from Maharashtra have accompanied him to Assam’s Guwahati and they are committed to Balasaheb Thackeray’s ‘Hindutva’ ideology.
Shinde along with a group of Shiv Sena and independent legislators arrived here early this morning and he initially refused to speak to the media persons waiting outside the airport.
He later said 40 MLAs accompanied him but didn’t want to make any comment on anybody.
The Shiv Sena legislators have rebelled against the party bringing a crisis to the MVA government in Maharashtra.
“We are committed to Balasaheb Thackeray’s ideology of ‘Hindutva’ and we want to take it forward,” Shinde said.
Asked why they have come to Guwahati, he said, “It is a nice place”.
