The Shiv Sena faction led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, after winning the majority test in the Maharashtra assembly today, has given a petition to the newly elected Speaker Rahul Narwekar to suspend 16 MLAs of Uddhav Thackeray faction for defying the whip to support the government. The name of Aaditya Thackeray -- former minister and the son of former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray -- was however not included.
