A day after the Supreme Court forbade the Maharashtra speaker from taking up disqualification proceedings, the Uddhav Thackeray faction of the Shiv Sena has urged the governor to not appoint new ministers or offer any remunerative posts to MLAs, from among the 39 rebels, against whom disqualification proceedings have been sought by the former CM’s Shiv Sena faction.

The Eknath Shinde group has sought the disqualification of 15 Thackeray camp MLAs for voting against the government in the floor test. The other group has moved a disqualification petition for violating the party’s directive for voting against the trust motion.
