There is an unconstitutional government in Maharashtra, Uddhav Thackeray-led group on Tuesday told the Supreme Court, while seeking an urgent hearing of the pleas filed by both the rival factions in relation to the Maharashtra political crisis.
The incident took place in Kisan Nagar area - a part of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's constituency, where newly appointed office bearers of Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena faction were being felicitated.
The announcement of the award in late Balasaheb Thackeray's name is considered significant as both chief minister Ekanath Shinde and former CM Uddhav Thackeray claim their factions as real Shiv Sena, which was founded by cartoonist turned politician Balasaheb Thackeray in 1966.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday posted for November 29 a batch of petitions filed by both factions of Shiv Sena, that is, led by Uddhav Thackeray and Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, respectively, in relation to the Maharashtra political crisis.
"The golden armour cannot be handed over to either of the faction since there is a case pending in the Supreme Court over the party's leadership issue," the Court said.
