Several MLAs, led by Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde, are camped at a hotel in Assam's Guwahati, plunging the MVA government into a political crisis.
The protest was led by TMC's state president Ripun Bora. Assam cops have removed Ripun Bora from the protest site outside Radisson Blu along with other TMC protesters. Bora blamed CM Homanta Biswa Sarma for facilitating dissidents from Maharashtra when people were dying in the devastating floods in Assam.
