Amit Shah wrote on Twitter, “I am confident that under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, both of you will faithfully serve the people and take Maharashtra to new heights of development.”

This visit of Eknath Shinde and Fadnavis to Delhi is taking place at a time when SC is going to have an important hearing on July 11 on the demand for disqualification of Shinde and 15 MLAs of his faction.

This petition has been filed on behalf of the Shiv Sena faction led by Uddhav Thackeray.

When asked about this, Eknath Shinde told reporters, “We have full faith in the judiciary.” The Speaker of the Assembly has also given us recognition.

Shinde was sworn in as Chief Minister on June 30 with the support of the BJP.

Before that, he had revolted against Uddhav Thackeray, due to which the Maha Vikas Aghadi government led by Thackeray fell.

After that, the Eknath Shinde government won the trust vote in the assembly on 4 July.
