Can key Thackeray aide Sachin Ahir be disqualified for Sena switch | Mumbai News
Sachin Ahir, a key aide to Uddhav Thackeray, filed his nomination for the Maharashtra Legislative Council Deputy Chairman's post, sparking legal action from Sena (UBT). Legal experts suggest that Ahir's likely election as Deputy Chairman could complicate immediate disqualification proceedings under the anti-defection law. Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray stated the party would initiate appropriate action against Ahir for defection, while Shinde, who heads the faction of Shiv Sena, maintains that Ahir's election to the Council does not immediately raise a disqualification issue.
