Eknath Shinde Says His Group of MLAs Will be in Mumbai on June 30 for Floor Test

On Wednesday, Rebel Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde said he would arrive in Mumbai on Thursday for the floor test against the Uddhav Thackeray-led Sena-NCP-Congress government in Maharashtra.


There was no official announcement from the palace that the floor test was scheduled for Thursday, although a letter mentioning the date of the June 30 floor test, which the governor wrote, went viral on Tuesday.


Shinde told reporters in Guwahati, where a large group of MLAs supporting him had been camping for a week that he would come to Mumbai with all the MLAs in his group.


Shinde, who came out of a luxury hotel in Guwahati, home to the rebel group, last week, said he had prayed at the Kamakhya temple in Guwahati for the peace and prosperity of the people of Maharashtra.


Shinde’s return to Mumbai was announced just hours after BJP leader Devendra Farnavis met Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari at Raj Bhavan on Tuesday night and called for a floor test in the assembly because the Thackeray-led MVA government lost its majority after the Shinde group revolted.
