"All events that followed, including the floor test and the appointment of Shinde as new Chief Minister are fruit of a poisonous tree," Team Uddhav Thackeray said in the Supreme Court
Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena faction has accused the party's group led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde of "floating a fake narrative to justify their anti-party stand". Team Thackeray made the allegations in its reply to the Supreme Court today ahead of a crucial hearing on the battle for the Maharashtra party's control.
"They created a narrative that voters are angry about the alliance of Shiv Sena with NCP (Nationalist Congress Party) and Congress," Team Thackeray said in its response to the Supreme Court. "The reality is that these MLAs remained ministers in the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance for two and a half years, but they never objected to it," it said.
"All events that followed, including the floor test and the appointment of Shinde as new Chief Minister are fruit of a poisonous tree, the seeds of which were unashamedly sown in the Supreme Court by the delinquent MLAs," Team Thackeray said.
"The rebel MLAs approached the Election Commission with claims of 'real Sena' in order to cover up their anti-party activities. It is implausible as to why the rebel MLAs had to leave Maharashtra and go to BJP-ruled Gujarat and subsequently sit on BJP's lap in Assam if they had the backing of their party cadre," Team Thackeray said, adding, "Needless to say that in Gujarat and Assam, there was no Shiv Sena cadre, only the BJP cadre which was providing full logistical support to the MLAs."
