Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray in a late-night open Zoom name with reporters and the general public strongly condemned the best way his celebration’s MLA, Eknath Shinde, and 21 different rebels sneaked out from Mumbai on Monday evening, ultimately to floor at a five-star resort in Assam’s Guwahati, removed from dwelling. The variety of insurgent MLAs because the Monday evening ‘escape’ has swelled to almost 40.

Mr Thackeray mentioned the Sena’s allies Nationalist Congress Occasion, or NCP, and the Congress are standing sturdy collectively, however what harm him essentially the most was the stab on the back by their own. “We have been stabbed within the again by our personal,” Mr Thackeray mentioned, referring to how the Sena MLAs sneakily took a flight from Mumbai to Surat on Monday evening.
