Resort Politics: Shiv Sena MLAs Moved to Mumbai Hotel Ahead of Rajya Sabha Polls

The big contest will be for the 6th seat between the BJP's Dhananjay Mahadik and Shiv Sena's Sanjay Pawar.

A group of Maharashtra MLAs from the ruling Shiv Sena, as well as some Independents, were shifted to an unknown hotel on Monday evening, 6 June, ahead of the upcoming 10 June upper house elections for six Rajya Sabha seats from Maharashtra.

The MLAs boarded two luxury buses following a meeting with Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray to prevent the possibility of horse-trading by the Bharatiya Janata Party ahead of the elections.
