During this fierce battle in Maharashtra, all eyes are now visible on the future stance of Deputy Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Narhari Jhirwal. It is seen that he will have to settle this entire dispute. If Jhirwal thinks of recognizing the group of rebel MLAs led by Eknath Shinde as a separate faction, then the Maha Vikas Aghadi government of the state can become history.

Even CM Thackeray may find it difficult to save his party. Moreover, if the group of rebel MLAs is not recognized by Jhirwal as a separate faction, then the whole matter may get entangled in a court tussle. The interesting fact is that due to the rebellion of MLAs in different states of the country, many times a situation of political uncertainty has been seen.

Every time the responsibility of resolving the confusion related to this has been played by the Speaker of the Assembly. This will be the first time that the role of the Deputy Speaker will be paramount instead of the Speaker.

And that is because, after the resignation of Nana Patole from the post of Congress President, the responsibility of running the house is being handled by Jhirwal himself.

Many options are seen in the hands of Narahari

The Deputy Speaker will first decide whether to recognize the group of rebel MLAs as a separate faction or to declare Choudhary as the Leader of the House, acting on the selected MLAs as per Uddhav’s demand.

Moreover, in the first situation, when the rebel MLAs will be recognized as a separate faction, then the Uddhav government will likely be reduced to a minority. If action is taken against the selected MLAs, then the rebel faction can approach the court with this fact.

Shinde faction claims support of 37 MLAs

It is learned from the news that the Shinde faction has tried to claim the support of 37 MLAs by writing a letter to the Deputy Speaker. Moreover, this number is considered to be two-thirds of the total 55 MLAs of Shiv Sena. Describing Shinde as its leader, this faction has demanded recognition of Bharat Gogowale as the chief whip.
