Maharashtra Political Crisis| Updates:
# BJP & Centre fully responsible for destabilising a stable govt in Maharashtra to form their own govt in the state. They’re also doing this for Presidential polls. I want to say that we all (Cong, NCP, Shiv Sena) will strengthen Maha Vikas Aghadi: Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress
# They may have thought of something and said it. We will speak to them. They have not said anything to us directly. We won’t comment on it yet: NCP leader Jayant Patil on Sanjay Raut’s statement that Shiv Sena is party mulling stepping out of MVA
MLAs should not communicate from Guwahati, they should come back to Mumbai and discuss all this with CM. We are ready to consider exiting out of MVA if this is the will of all MLAs, but for that, they have to come here & discuss it with the CM: Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut
