“The action of going to a foreign state, a BJP-ruled state, conference with BJP leaders, attempting to fall the government, writing letters against the government, amounts to a clear offense … This is our appeal to the Speaker,” he claimed.

“They are also stating the Replacement Speaker has no territory. This is likewise completely incorrect. In the lack of an Audio speaker, the Deputy Audio speaker has all the powers. We are going to urge all these 16 MLAs will be disqualified and encounter the electorate,” the attorney said.

Currently in its sixth day, the tussle in between Uddhav Thackeray’s side as well as the rebels led by priest Eknath Shinde scaled up on Sunday with Sena leaders, led by top agent Sanjay Raut, introducing acerbic assaults on the dissidents while Nationalist Congress Event chief Sharad Pawar, chief strategist of the judgment coalition, held closed-door meetings with partnership companions.
