Tension is mounting in Maharashtra as the state awaits the assembly speaker`s decision on Sena disqualification plea. Reportedly, cross-petitions were filed by competing factions within the Shiv Sena demanding the disqualification of their respective MLAs following a party split. This decision has substantial ramifications for the government led by Eknath Shinde, as well as the regional organization`s internal dynamics, stated a report in PTI.
Speaker Rahul Narwekar`s long-awaited decision is planned for 4 pm on Wednesday, more than 18 months after the Shiv Sena split, resulting in a state leadership change.
