Post-Supreme Court ruling on the 2022 Maharashtra political crisis the focus has now shifted on the assembly speaker with Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray on Friday seeking an early decision on the disqualification of 16 Shiv Sena MLAs, including chief minister Eknath Shinde, but the House presiding officer insisted he will not succumb to any pressure while adjudicating on the matter. Maharashtra deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, on the other hand, said it is not right to put pressure on assembly speaker Rahul Narwekar as he will decided on the matter at an appropriate time following due process of law. Stepping up pressure on the Shinde camp, Thackeray said the rebel MLAs facing disqualification have got only temporary respite from the Supreme Court. Thackeray made the remarks a day after the Supreme Court gave its verdict on last year's political crisis that resulted in the collapse of the three-party Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government led by him following a rebellion by Eknath Shinde, who later joined hands with the BJP to become the chief minister.

Ajit Pawar on Uddhav Thackeray's demand for Shinde's resignation
There is no need of demanding resignation from the current CM Eknath Shinde on moral grounds. We know he will not resign even in his dreams. There is a huge difference between former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee and the current people.
Our Speaker had resigned then without asking our CM Uddhav Thackeray, that should not have happened. Even if he resigned, we could have elected a new Speaker immediately. If we had our Speaker, then those 16 MLAs would have been disqualified then.

The cabinet expansion is due for a long time. There is a possibility Shinde faction MLAs who are now part of the real Shiv Sena will get inducted. The doors of the cabinet will also have to be opened if more MLAs, especially those who were ministers in the MVA government, want to come over. So there is a possibility that a cabinet expansion may take place.
