Mumbai, 10/1: The political temperature has risen in Maharashtra ahead of the crucial verdict by the assembly speaker on the cross-petitions by Shiv Sena factions seeking disqualification of each other’s MLAs following a split in the party.
The outcome will decide the way forward for the Eknath Shinde government and also the regional outfit’s rival groups.
Narwekar is slated to deliver his much-awaited verdict on the disqualification pleas at 4 pm on Wednesday, more than 18 months after the Shiv Sena suffered a vertical split, a political development that resulted in a change of guard in the state.
