Maharashtra, Nov 12, TEN Network | The Shiv Sena has moved the Supreme Court against the Maharashtra Governor’s refusal to grant three days to get the letters of support from the NCP and Congress.
The petition filed by Sena says that the Governor’s move is against the principles of natural justice, sources say. It further says, it had the support of two other parties and needed three days to show numbers.
Appearing for the Sena is Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal.
After a day-long discussion with its Maharashtra leadership on Monday, the Congress did not give the waiting Sena a letter of support, forcing Aaditya Thackeray and Eknath Shinde to meet Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari with empty hands and seeking more time. a request Raj Bhavan didn’t accept.
The reluctance of the Congress to enter into an alliance with the Shiv Sena was stated to be one of the reasons that the Congress and NCP failed to give the Sena letters of support within the deadline. “Congress was not comfortable with the Sena’s stand on Ram temple construction and Uniform Civil Code,” said a Sena functionary.
