Maharashtra Political Crisis LIVE Updates: We will fight, floor test will decide who has majority, says NCP's Sharad Pawar

They (BJP) are a national party...They have told me that the decision which I have taken is historic, and whenever I need them they will be present: Rebel Shiv Sena MLA Eknath Shinde to the MLAs with him in Guwahati

Sharad Pawar says Shiv Sena rebels led by Eknath Shinde will have to present themselves in Vidhan Bhawan premises in Mumbai

Everyone knows how the rebel Shiv Sena MLAs were taken to Gujarat & then Assam. We don't have to take the names of all those assisting them...Assam Government is helping them. I don't need to take any names further: NCP chief Sharad Pawar

What Sanjay Raut said (about exiting the MVA) was that the rebel MLAs need to say what they want to say in Mumbai and not from Assam: Sharad Pawar

The way to prove if Maharashtra's Uddhav Thackeray-led government is in minority is through floor of Assembly: NCP chief Sharad Pawar

MVA decided to back CM Uddhav Thackeray. I believe once the (Shiv Sena) MLAs return to Mumbai the situation will change: NCP chief Sharad Pawar in Mumbai

Video surfaces showing Eknath Shinde telling his loyalists that a national party has said that it will provide whatever help they require: TV reports

There is no question of proving majority as of now, MVA has majority and is still in power. It's just that some Shiv Sena MLAs have gone to another state after being unhappy but we are confident that Shiv Sena will succeed in bringing them back: NCP leader Jayant Patil

The (Shiv Sena) MLAs go to other states and the police here do not even know...this in a way is an intelligence failure: Ajit Pawar on the current political situation in the state

Senior Shiv Sena leaders arrive at Uddhav Thackeray's residence to review political situation. Sanjay Raut also expected to attend the meeting.

They (BJP) wanted to create instability & destroy Shiv Sena so that they can emerge no. 1 party in the BMC polls. This operation is being orchestrated from Delhi. Devendra Fadnavis is going to Delhi to take instructions & logistical support:Maharashtra Congress' Prithviraj Chavan

Ajit Pawar harassed Congress MLAs, ministers by stalling their development funds, alleges MPCC chief Nana Patole

We stand with CM Uddhav Thackeray and will support him till the last moment... We have numbers for the govt as no MLA of Shiv Sena has resigned nor Shiv Sena has expelled anyone from the party: NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal after the party meeting in Mumbai

It is the responsibility of all the three parties (NCP, Congress and Shiv Sena) to save the MVA government. Only Sanjay Raut knows why he made such a statement (Shiv Sena mulling to exit MVA): NCP leader and Maharashtra deputy CM Ajit Pawar

NCP extends full support to Uddhav Thackrey and I spoke with both Uddhav and Aaditya Thackeray and conveyed the same: Ajit Pawar, Maharashtra deputy CM

A meeting of Congress leaders on the current political developments held at Sahyadri Guest House, Mumbai, in the presence of HK Patil, AICC Incharge- Maharastra, state party president Nana Patole and others

Meghalya CM Conrad Sangma met the Shiv Sena MLAs in Guwahati. Interestingly, his father late PA Sangma was one of the founders of the NCP.

If time comes then we can provide support to the Maha Vikas Aghadi govt from outside also: Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole after the party meeting in Mumbai

To stop the BJP (from coming to power) in 2019, Maha Vikas Aghadi was constituted on a common minimum program. Congress still sticks to that and our support for Maha Vikas Aghadi continues: Maharashtra Congress leader Ashok Chavan

BJP is trying to destabilise the govt, BJP is trying to split Shiv Sena. We're working on how to sort this out ... Maha Vikas Aghadi govt will continue and will complete 5 years. We're keeping an eye on the situation. Congress stands with the MVA: Patole
