The rebel faction of Eknath Shinde today claimed that that the eventual number of Sena MLAs supporting them will cross 50. "We will arrive at a decision in three or four days and thereafter, we will directly go back to Maharashtra," said rebel MLA Deepak Kesarkar.
"One to two more MLAs will come and join us. With their support and other Independents, our strength will be increased to 51," Mr Kesarkar was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
The rebel faction currently has more than 40 Sena MLAs, their total number is close to 50.
This afternoon, Uday Sawant became the ninth Maharashtra minister to join the rebel camp. The rebels claim they have a two-thirds majority, which would enable them to split the party in the assembly without invoking the disqualification laws.
