Shiv Sena Minister Eknath Shinde's revolt has threatened the Mahavikas Vikas Aghadi government. The revolt of Shinde and his supporters has created a political crisis for the Shiv Sena. At the same time, will Uddhav Thackeray have to step down as the Chief Minister? Such a question arises.
The epicenter of the political quake in Maharashtra was at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Guwahati, 2730 km from Mumbai. Shiv Sena rebel leader Eknath Shinde and his supporters are staying in the same hotel with 42 MLAs.
Along with Eknath Shinde, Shiv Sena has 37 MLAs and 5 independents. However, in the dramatic events of this power struggle, hotel politics has come under discussion again. Because money like water is being spent for this.
The government of Maharashtra is facing a political crisis but its plan was hatched in Surat. Shiv Sena rebel MLAs first reached Surat. From there all came to Guwahati by chartered plane. In particular, the rebels reached Surat in groups of 2-2, 3-3.
Some MLAs reached Guwahati on Tuesday and some on Wednesday. On Thursday morning, 4 Shiv Sena MLAs arrived in Guwahati. They are being flown from Surat to Guwahati on a chartered flight. So you can guess exactly how much it costs.
Shiv Sena party leadership has come under tension due to the sanctity of MLAs' revolt. Uddhav Thackeray has left Varsha Niwas and reached Matoshri. Thackeray is ready to step down as chief minister to bring back the rebels. But the number of disgruntled MLAs kept increasing.
At present, more than 40 MLAs are staying in hotels in Guwahati. Police have set up a security cordon around the Radisson Hotel. Even though the BJP leader claims that we have nothing to do with it, the reality is different.
The BJP seems to be taking care not to cause any inconvenience to the rebel MLAs of Shiv Sena. BJP leaders are busy at the Radisson Blu Hotel. According to sources, the Chief Minister of Assam also met the rebel MLAs.
The hotel in Guwahati has a six-day booking for 90 people. That includes Shiv Sena rebel MLAs. There are suggestions to lower some more rooms in view of the increasing number of MLAs. The rent for a room at the Radisson Blu Hotel is Rs 6,800 per day
The rent for a deluxe room here is Rs. 8,000 per day. Therefore, how many arrangements have been made for rebel MLAs to bring about a political earthquake in Maharashtra. It shows how much is being spent. Not only that, the cost of a chartered plane is 80,000 per hour to 5-6
