Rebel Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde has called a meeting of MLAs, who are currently camping with him at a hotel in Assam's Guwahati to discuss the strategy ahead. Shinde is claiming the support of 38 MLAs of the 55 Shiv Sena legislators, which is more than two-thirds of the party's strength in the 288-member Maharashtra Legislative Assembly.

Meanwhile, Maharashtra deputy speaker Narhari Zirwal has sent notices to the 16 Shiv Sena rebel MLAs. The MLAs have to be present in Mumbai on June 27 for the hearing of disqualification.
