The state cabinet meeting began and CM Uddhav Thackeray join via video conferencing, as he has tested positive for Covid 19. Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut today hinted at the dissolution of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly amid the current political crisis in the state.

The MVA government plunged into its gravest crisis early on Tuesday after Shiv Sena Minister Eknath Shinde suddenly revolted along with a group of Shiv Sena MLAs and Ministers, and reached Surat early on Tuesday morning. In a cryptic tweet, Eknath Shinde said "we will never cheat for power and never abandon teachings of Bal Thackeray".
On the other hand, Shinde has avoided giving a direct answer about forming a government by supporting BJP. Earlier, Sanjay Raut from Shiv Sena, while interacting with the media, explained the strategy and further direction. He also said that all the MLAs in Surat will come back, the MLAs have been forcibly retained. Raut interacted with the media, at which point his face appeared to have fallen off anything.
