However, on Wednesday, the rebel faction submitted a letter to the Deputy Speaker reappointing Shinde. The letter said the resolution to oust him was invalid since the meeting had been attented by only 16 of the party's 55 legistators. The dissident faction was signed by 34 MLAs. 

But, the Deputy Speaker rejected the dissidents' letter and approved the appointment of Choudhari as Shiv Sena Legislature Party Group leader.
