New Delhi: Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde will get to keep his job and his Government, the Supreme Court said today, in a massive setback for Uddhav Thackeray over last year’s Shiv Sena mutiny.
The Supreme Court said it cannot disqualify Shinde and 15 other MLAs for revolting against then Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray in June last year. It also rejected a request to restore Thackeray’s Government because the leader had chosen to resign instead of facing a test of strength in the Assembly.
