Addressing media for the first time since rebelling against Sena on Wednesday, Shinde made it clear that the rebel MLAs were still a part of Shiv Sena. But he affirmed that they would not compromise on Hindutva - a hint that they can part ways with the party if it doesn't leave the alliance with NCP and Congress.
 
 
Shinde remarked, "We are Balasaheb's Shiv Sainiks. We have not left Shiv Sena and we will not leave Shiv Sena. But we are going to do the politics based on Balasaheb's ideology."

He added, "Today, we are taking forward Balasaheb's ideology. And all of you know that Balasaheb has imparted the Hindutva ideology to this country. We will not compromise on Hindutva". Shinde stated, "40 Shiv Sena MLAs are present here. We want to take forward Balasaheb Thackeray's Hindutva and his position. I don't want to comment or criticise anyone". As per the anti-defection law, at least 37 Shiv Sena MLAs need to rebel in order to avoid possibility of disqualification.
