Shiv Sena president and Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, on Tuesday, made an appeal to rebel MLAs of his party camping in Guwahati to return to Mumbai and talk to him.
His appeal comes in the wake of the dare from rebel group leader Eknath Shinde to disclose names of some of the MLAs camping in Guwahati who were reportedly in touch with the party leadership.
In a letter to the rebels, the chief minister said, "You (the rebel MLAs) have been in Guwahati for the last few days. I have been getting updates about you every day. Many of you are in touch with us and you are still part of Shiv Sena."
"It is not too late. I appeal to you to return and sit with me and remove the confusion (created by your actions) among Shiv Sainiks and the public," he said.
As party president and family head, I still care for you, he said, adding that a solution to the current crisis could be found if the rebel MLAs come to Mumbai and sit and talk to him face-to-face.
The respect given to you by Sena cannot be find anywhere else, he said and urged them to not fall prey to any false narratives.
