Guwahati, June 28: Amidst the political crisis in Maharashtra triggered by a rebellion by a major section of Shiv Sena MLAs, currently camping in Assam, reports now say that they are likely to stay for more days at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Guwahati; they are unlikely to return before July 5.
Notably, the national executive meeting of Shiv Sena on June 25 passed 6 resolutions giving absolute rights to Maharashtra CM and party president Uddhav Thackeray to take action against the rebels to bring the revolt within party under control.
In a jolt to the Maha Vikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra, senior Shiv Sena Minister Eknath Shinde and other rebel MLAs revolted against the party on June 20 and camped in Surat. The rebel MLAs have shifted base to a hotel in Guwahati.

The tussle in Maharashtra between Shiv Sena and the rebel group led by Eknath Shinde has now reached Supreme Court. The pleas filed by the breakaway camp challenge disqualification proceedings against Shinde and 15 other rebel MLAs.
On Monday, a separate plea was filed by Shinde in the top court regarding the safety of the legislators who have challenged party chief and Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray. A bench of Justices Surya Kant and JB Pardiwala heard the pleas on Monday.
"This is the win of the Hindutva of Balasaheb Thackeray and the ideas of Anand Dighe," Eknath Shinde tweeted after the Supreme Court deferred the disqualification proceedings of rebel MLAs till July 11.
