Opposition parties have decided to demand the removal of Neelam Gorhe as deputy chairperson of the Maharashtra Legislative Council, following her recent move to switch over from the Shiv Sena (UBT) to the rival Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

Shiv Sena (UBT) legislator Ambadas Danve stated that Neelam Gorhe has been "suspended" by the Uddhav Thackeray-led party. Hence, she "does not have the right" to remain the Council`s deputy chairperson.
