Amid the Maharashtra political crisis, leaders of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) arrived at the party chief Sharad Pawar’s residence for a high-level meeting on Thursday. As the numbers in the rebel camp steadily swelled on Thursday, the Shiv Sena made a new offer: We will discuss our exit from MVA as you wished, but you come down and discuss with Uddhav Thackeray. Eknath Shinde's band of rebels didn't seem too keen to take that offer. That rebel camp may reach the crucial number of 37 Sena MLAs - needed to beat the anti-defection law.
