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.
