Maharashtra CM's wife Rashmi Thackeray has reportedly spoken to the wives of several rebel MLAs, who are camping in Guwahati under the leadership of Eknath Shinde. As the political crisis in Maharashtra continues to unfold, Sanjay Raut said that the Uddhav Thackeray faction is in touch with the rebel MLAs.
Aaditya Thackeray quoted his mother to be saying, “Had Congress, NCP betrayed us, it wouldn't have been a surprise. But the Shiv Sainiks whom we trusted betrayed us," ABP News reported. Rashmi Thackeray, who hails from a middle-class family, has been the editor of Shiv Sena's mouthpiece publications Saamna and Marmik. She got married to Uddhav Thackeray in 1989. The couple has two sons-- Tejas and Aaditya. She is fondly called 'Vahinisaheb' by Shiv Sainiks.
Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, on Saturday after chairing a national executive meeting with Sena leaders, moved the Election Commission (EC) to restrain any other political outfit or faction from using the name of Shiv Sena or its founder late Balasaheb Thackeray.
The political crisis in Maharashtra was triggered after Eknath Shinde and several MLAs went incommunicado after the MLC poll results. They are currently camping in a hotel in Guwahati.
