Maharashtra political crisis live updates: ‘Shiv Sena ready to exit MVA if…’, Sanjay Raut makes big statement

Trouble has mounted for Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray as three more MLAs from his state have arrived today (June 23) in Assam’s Guwahati to join the rebel Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde and other legislators. Deepak Kesakar, an MLA from Sawantwadi, Mangesh Kudalkar, the lawmaker from Chembur, and Sada Sarvankar, the Dadar MLA, took a morning flight from Mumbai and reached the Radisson Blu Hotel in Guwahati, where Shinde and fellow leaders have camped.

Amid the political crisis in the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in Maharashtra, Shinde had claimed the support of 46 legislators, including some Independents on Wednesday. He had also given a letter to the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly’s deputy speaker, signed by 35 Sena MLAs, replacing Sunil Prabhu with Bharat Gogavale as the chief whip of the Shiv Sena legislature party
