Millennium Post Delhi|May 13, 2023
Post-Supreme Court ruling on the 2022 Maharashtra political crisis the focus has now shifted on the Assembly Speaker with Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray on Friday seeking an early decision on the disqualification of 16 Shiv Sena MLAs, including Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, but the House presiding officer insisted he will not succumb to any pressure while adjudicating on the matter.
Uddhav for early call on disqualification; Speaker says won't succumb to pressure

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, on the other hand, said it is not right to put pressure on Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar as he will decided on the matter at an appropriate time following due process of law.

Stepping up pressure on the Shinde camp, Thackeray said the rebel MLAs facing disqualification have got only temporary respite from the Supreme Court.

Thackeray made the remarks a day after the Supreme Court gave its verdict on last year's political crisis that resulted in the collapse of the...three-party Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government led by him following a rebellion by Eknath Shinde, who later joined hands with the BJP to become the chief minister.

Thackeray's party colleague Anil Parab said they will write to Narwerkar urging him to take a call on the matter at the earliest.

"The gift of life to the 16 MLAs is temporary because the Supreme Court has given a reasonable time and it has limitations. The Speaker must take his decision at the earliest, former CM Thackeray told reporters.

Speaker Narwekar asserted he will not succumb to any pressure while deciding on the disqualification of 16 MLAs of the ruling Shiv Sena and said whatever time is required to complete the process will be taken.
