Both the Congress and the NCP party legislatures will convene today, as uncertainty grows over the future of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government reeling under a possible mass rebellion in Shiv Sena. The Congress legislature will meet today in Mumbai, in the presence of AICC observer Kamal Nath, according to reports. The NCP will convene a crucial meeting that is chaired by supremo Sharad Pawar.
A group of Maharashtra MLAs, led by dissident Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde, had reached Guwahati and were taken to a luxury hotel on the outskirts of the city amid tight security. The MLAs were received at the airport by BJP MPs Pallab Lochan Das and Sushanta Borgohain.
Speculations are rife that Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is likely to meet the MLAs during the day though the BJP party or his office are yet to confirm the meeting. Tight security has been imposed with a huge posse of police personnel posted in and around the hotel. The MLAs were taken to Surat from Mumbai on Tuesday and the decision to shift them to Guwahati was taken on security grounds.
