Aaditya Thackeray, Shiv Sena MLA, may face disqualification after he "defied" a whip to vote for Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde during a test of strength today.
Two weeks ago, his father Uddhav Thackeray was Chief Minister, in charge of the Shiv Sena and the man sending notice to disqualify Eknath Shinde and other rebel MLAs.
Shiv Sena MLAs were instructed to vote for the Eknath Shinde government by a Chief Whip chosen by the rebel camp. The Chief Whip was endorsed at the stroke of midnight by the Speaker elected yesterday, Rahul Narvekar.
By voting against Eknath Shinde, who brought his father's government down last week, Aaditya Thackeray defied that whip.
