Mumbai : Shiv Sena’s anger over the delay in Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari’s nod for nominating Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray as a legislator surfaced on Sunday, with MP Sanjay Raut launching a veiled attack against the former BJP leader.
Without naming Koshyari, who has sought legal advice after the state Cabinet recently recommended Thackerays name as a member of the Legislative Council from the governors quota of nominated members, Raut left no doubt as to who was the target of his attack.
“Raj bhavan, governor’s house shouldn’t become center for political conspiracy. Remember! history doesn’t spare those who behave unconstitutionally . @maha_governor,” Raut tweeted.
Thackeray is not a member of either of the two houses of the state legislature.
As per the Constitution, a minister or a chief minister who is not a member of either of the houses has to be elected to either of the houses within six months of being sworn into the post, failing which the person must resign.
Thackeray was sworn in as chief minister on November 28, 2019, and completes six months in office on May 28, 2020.
