Uddhav Thackeray

Political astrologer Pandit Jagannath Guruji predicts if this is the end of the road for Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and whether the Maharashtra government and the Shiv Sena will survive this crisis.

The Maharashtra political crisis is deepening, with both Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and rebel minister Eknath Shinde engaged in a tug of war — the former to maintain the support of his MLAs in order to stay in power, and the latter to go beyond the'magic number' to dodge the anti-defection law.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has moved from his official residence in south Mumbai to family home in suburban Bandra.

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Wednesday said Uddhav Thackeray will remain the Chief Minister of Maharashtra.

Shiv Sena rebel Eknath Shinde, camping in Guwahati, has claimed that he has the support of 34 MLAs of his party.

The rebellion by Eknath Shinde, a Cabinet minister who has walked away with a bunch of Shiv Sena MLAs, is most significant in the outfit's 56-year-old history.

Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray says he is ready to resign as Maharashtra CM, providedthe disgruntled MLAs come forward and demand so.

"If any Shiv Sena MLA does not want me to continue as Chief Minister, I am ready to take all my belongings from Varsha Bungalow (official residence of the CM) to Matoshri. If party members feel that I am not fit to lead the party, I will resign from that position as well," Uddhav said.

Is the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi government on its way out? Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Wednesday hinted that the ongoing political crisis in Maharashtra is heading to the dissolution of Vidhan Sabha.

Last year, Sarnaik, in his letter to the CM, stated that while the BJP and the Shiv Sena are no longer allies, however, their leaders have good relations, which the Sena should take advantage of.
