Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray on Sunday targeted the Eknath Shinde-led government on the stringent security arrangements in place for rebel Shiv Sena MLAs as they entered the Vidhan Bhavan premises from a nearby luxury hotel.
"We have not seen such security before in Mumbai. Why are you scared? Is someone going to run away? Why so much fear," Thackeray said as the Shinde group MLAs reached Vidhan Bhavan in special buses.
The four-day-old Shiv Sena-BJP government will face the floor test on July 4 during the Assembly session.
Rebel Shiv Sena MLAs who support Mr Shinde returned to Mumbai from Goa on Saturday evening on the eve of the Assembly session, and were lodged in a luxury hotel in south Mumbai, where Vidhan Bhavan, the venue of the floor test, is located.
