Shiv Sena minister Uday Samant joins Eknath Shinde-led rebel camp
In a major embarrassment for the Shiv Sena, higher and technical education minister Uday Samant joined the rebel camp led by urban development minister Eknath Shinde at Guwahati.
This defection has led to the number of Sena legislators with Shinde rising to 39. Ironically, the Shinde camp now has more Sena ministers than chief minister Uddhav Thackeray.
Samant, who was unreachable since Sunday morning, reached Guwahati via a chartered plane from Surat with three more passengers, including his personal secretary and a Shiv Sena worker from Thane.
Samant is the seventh Shiv Sena minister to join the rebels. Chief minister Uddhav Thackeray is left with just one minister from the party who is MLA, his son Aaditya Thackeray, who is the environment and protocol minister.
The other two Sena ministers with Uddhav are transport minister Anil Parab, and industries minister Subhash Desai, who opted out of contesting for his seat in the state legislative council. Both Parab and Desai are MLCs. Independent Shankarrao Ladakh is also a minister (for water and soil conservation) from the Shiv Sena’s quota. One berth is vacant after the resignation of forest minister Sanjay Rathod.
