The escalating political crises in Mharashtra politics have become such an imbroglio that best of political analysts find it difficult to say what is in store for tomorrow.
While Eknath Shinde has moved the Supreme Court seeking relief from the demand for action against the rebel Sena MLAs, in a queer twist to the event, the exasperated chief minister of Maharshtra, Uddhav Tackeray has made one more apeeal to the rebel MLAs to come back to Mumbai and talk to him directly.
“We will return to Mumbai soon. We are still in the Shiv Sena.” that was either a contesting note from the rebel leader Shine or it was a consenting gesture is yet not clear.
Rebel #ShivSena MLA #EknathShinde said that he will be in Mumbai soon, adding that he is accompanied by 50 MLAs who have come on their own.

However, the CM’s appeal for a talk with him in Mumbai, coming as it did, after Shinde sounded about coming back to Mumbai, both cannot be read in isolation from each other.
Notwithstanding the arguments aired from the BJP camp, that it were all internal matter of Sena and they have nothing to do with it, the leader of the opposition in Maharashtra, Devendra Fednaves rushed to Delhi amid the turmoil back home was obviously not for nothing.
That too Shinde saying that, “ we are still in Shiv Sena” goes without saying that, the ongoing shadow-boxing between Uddhav and Shinde is in a sequnce to the time which sounds shril politically.
On one side reports said that, Uddhav has almost stripped many rebels off their portfolios after the split occurred, again the appeal by the chief minister calling the rebels to come to him appear as a strategic ploy only.
The political deadlock has lasted for about a fortnights with Shinde faction holed up in Guwahati in luxury accommodations is something that can be described as a huge tamasha and hideous ostentation at the cost of people’s money.
If not so then where from such luxurious political dramas are being enacted and from where the ‘netas’ earn for such splurges.
