Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray tests Covid positive
Ahead of the crucial Cabinet meeting of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government on Wednesday amid rebellion, Congress leaders claimed chief minister Uddhav Thackeray has tested positive for Covid-19.
State Congress chief Kamal Nath, and Congress observer for the state Kamal Nath both claimed Uddhav tested positive. Kamal Nath said he was supposed to meet Uddhav Thackeray before the Cabinet meeting, but as Uddhav tested positive for Covid, he did not meet the chief minister.
The development comes amid a strong buzz that with about 40 out of 55 MLAs of the Shiv Sena with rebel Eknath Shinde in Guwahati, Uddhav Thackeray may resign. Amid the crisis, Sanjay Raut also hinted that the state was heading towards a dissolution of the state assembly.
