Shiv Sena leader and Maharashtra Urban Development Minister Eknath Shinde, along with 10-12 MLAs, has gone ‘out of reach’ since Monday’s legislative council elections, fuelling rumours of a rebellion within the party. The development comes amid allegations of cross-voting by some Shiv Sena MLAs. The ‘missing’ Shiv Sena MLAs are believed to be holed up in a hotel in Surat, Gujarat, a BJP-ruled state, with Shinde. Security outside the hotel has been beefed up and no one is being allowed entry. Shinde is likely to address mediapersons from Surat around 2 pm on Tuesday. Sources close to Shinde said he has the support of 20 MLAs from western Maharashtra, Marathwada, and Vidarbha. Watch the full report here.
