Mumbai (IANS) | Soon after the Supreme Court’s verdict, former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday asked how he could seek a vote of confidence from “traitors who betrayed us”. On the Supreme Court’s remark that if the then chief minister had not resigned, the court could have reinstated him, Thackeray said, “May be my decision was wrong, but how can I ask for the vote of confidence of the one who gave me cheated?
However, the Supreme Court has made strong remarks on the manner in which his government was brought down, including the role of the Governor.
Thackeray has also demanded that if there is any morality left in the current government of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde after the Supreme Court verdict, it should resign immediately, as I did.
The Shiv Sena (UBT) president said they would now urge Speaker Rahul Narvekar to take up the matter of disqualification of the 16 MLAs, including Shinde, and take a decision on priority.
