Mumbai: After Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena presses for their disqualification from the assembly, the rebel MLAs led by Eknath Shinde on Saturday named their group as ‘Shiv Sena Balasaheb’.
“Our group will be called Shiv Sena Balasaheb. We will not merge with any party,” rebel Shiv Sena MLA Deepak Kesarkar said.

The Maha Vikas Aghadi government continues to put up a brave front even as Rebel Shiv Sena MLA Eknath Shinde and 38 other have been camping in a five-star hotel in BJP-ruled Assam.
On Friday, the rebel camp had written a letter to acting speaker Narhari Zirwal saying that Eknath Shinde will be the elected leader in the assembly. Two independent lawmakers backing them also issued a notice to move no-confidence motion against Zirwal, who accepted a Sena proposal to disqualify 16 rebel MLAs.
