Assam Congress chief says in letter to Eknath Shinde, "Busy activities of Assam government in providing royal hospitality are quite unfair."
As rebel Shiv Sena MLAs from Maharashtra continued to camp in Guwahati in BJP-ruled Assam, the state's Congress unit chief, Bhupen Kumar Borah, on Friday asked their leader Eknath Shinde to leave immediately, saying that the MLAs are getting "royal hospitality" amid floods in Assam. I have written a letter toSri #EknathShinde Minister of #Maharashtra requesting him to leave Assam along with his MLAs who are sheltering at hotel to topple the #MVAGovt .The letter has been given to one on duty police officer at Hotel Radison Blu.#MaharashtraPoliticalCrisispic.twitter.com/5msACuiNwC
"Your presence is creating an unhealthy atmosphere," Mr Borah said in his letter to Eknath Shinde.
The Congress is a partner of Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena, along with Sharad Pawar's NCP, in Maharashtra's Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government. Chief Minister Thackeray is fighting an unprecedented rebellion that has seen more than 40 MLAs backing Eknath Shinde, who are staying at Radisson Blu Hotel in Guwahati since June 22.
