Thackeray faction raises “50 Khoke” slogans in front of CM Shinde at Maharashtra Assembly
Mumbai: MLAs of former Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray’s faction on Wednesday protested against Chief Minister Eknath Shinde at the Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha and raised slogans against his betrayal to the Shiv Sena Chief Uddhav Thackeray.
The MLAs raised the slogan “50 Khoke” (50 Crores) to take a dig at Shinde claiming that his faction of MLAs were bribed 50 Crore rupees each by the BJP for the rebellion.
The video of the incident is being widely shared across social media platforms. In the video, the MLAs can be seen raising the slogan as the CM steps out of the assembly along with some of his MLAs and officials.
The Uddhav Thackeray government collapsed in Maharashtra earlier in June this year after a BJP-enabled rebellion in the Shiv Sena by Eknath Shinde, who is now Chief Minister.

Delegation requests for Karnataka HC Bench in coastal districts, hands petition to Chief Justice
Udupi: A delegation of the High Court Bench Struggle Committee met and submitted a petition to the Karnataka High Court Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru at the Circuit House urging the opening of a High Court Bench in the coastal belt as well as a Mobile High Court Bench in Mangaluru.
MLC and convener of the Committee Ivan D’Souza, who spoke to the Chief Justice on the occasion, explained that the people of the coastal belt find it difficult to travel to Bengaluru to fight a petition in the High Court. The problem only aggravated during monsoon. D’Souza added that there was a delay in clearing the cases of Udupi, Chikkamagaluru and Kodagu districts, which was causing further inconvenience to the people.
The MLC, who pointed out that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had also shown his preference for establishing a High Court Bench in the coastal region, requested for an approval to establish a Mobile High Court Bench first.
