'Upset Over Cong, NCP's Style of Working, Not With Sena': Rebel Maharashtra MLAs

A dissident MLA claimed that the Congress and NCP's 'hostile' behaviour had 'forced' them to revolt.

Amid the political crisis brewing for the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in Maharashtra, dissident Shiv Sena leaders said on Wednesday, 22 June, that the "rebel" MLAs did not have any complaints against the Sena, but they were unhappy over the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Congress' style of functioning.

Dissident leader Sandipan Bhumare told a television channel, "We do not have any complaints against the Shiv Sena leadership. We have raised our complaints with Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, that it was getting difficult to work with the NCP and Congress ministers," news agency PTI reported.

He further added that it was getting "very difficult" for their proposals and work requests to get approved from ministers of the Congress and the NCP.
