Mumbai, June 28: Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut jibed the Supreme Court’s decision regarding Eknath Shinde and other rebel MLAs on Tuesday, saying that the rebel MLAs can rest in Guwahati till July 11 because they had no job to do in Maharashtra.
The top court granted Shinde and other MLAs permission on Monday to respond by July 12 to the Deputy Speaker of the Maharashtra Assembly’s notification of their disqualification.
“It is an order for them to rest there (in Guwahati) till July 11. There is no work for them in Maharashtra,” said Raut.
“There are still a few MLAs whom we do not consider rebels, as they are in touch with us. Their families are also in touch with us and we are hopeful that they would return to us,” he added.
The Shiv Sena leader added that the BJP and Devendra Fadnavis shouldn’t get engaged in the Maha Vikas Aghadi government’s dilemma as it is developing. If they do, Raut said, “their party’s (the BJP), Fadnavis’s, and Prime Minister Modi’s names would be tranished.”
Sources claim that the rebels would remain in Assam for a few more days and are unlikely to travel back to Maharashtra before July 5.
