The Maha Vikas Aghadi government continues to put up a brave front even as Rebel Shiv Sena MLA Eknath Shinde and 38 other have been camping in a five-star hotel in BJP-ruled Assam.
On Friday, the rebel camp had written a letter to acting speaker Narhari Zirwal saying that Eknath Shinde will be the elected leader in the assembly. Two independent lawmakers backing them also issued a notice to move no-confidence motion against Zirwal, who accepted a Sena proposal to disqualify 16 rebel MLAs.
