Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday spoke to rebel Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde and insisted that he come back to Mumbai and discuss. Shinde and his loyal MLAs have been staying at a hotel in Surat since Monday night, hours after the results of the MLC elections in Maharashtra were announced.
Shinde, in his 20-minute phone conversation, insisted on a compromise with the BJP. The rebel leader, however, clarified that he has not reached any conclusion yet. Nor has he signed any document. He said that he is only demanding for the good of the party and not for his personal interests, sources said.
