Eknath Shinde, at the centre of the revolt against his boss Uddhav Thackeray, has told NDTV that more than 50 MLAs are backing him. “Forty of them are from the Shiv Sena,” Mr Shinde, who is camping in BJP-ruled Assam, said in an exclusive telephonic interview.
“Those who have faith in our role will join us. We want to carry forward Balasaheb’s ideology, those who like it, they will come,” Mr Shinde said, insisting the rebels have not left Balasaheb Thackeray’s Shiv Sena.
