Bhumare, who is also a minister in the state cabinet, said that as a public representative, it was his job to address grievances.

“What else do I need in life. But, as a people representative, I need to address the grievances of my people. I could not do it properly because of these two alliance partners,” the leader said.

A day, after all, five candidates of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a victory in the Maharashtra Legislative Council (MLC) elections, dozens of Sena MLAs led by Shinde were holed up at Surat’s Le Meridian Hotel under heavy police presence on Tuesday.

Eknath has claimed the support of 40 MLAs, including 33 from Sena and seven Independents. Reports suggest that the rebel lawmakers might seek a floor test. The BJP, meanwhile, remains on a ‘wait and watch mode, claiming that it has no involvement in the ongoing political crisis.
