The Maharashtra political crisis has taken a turn with a debate on who can take Balasaheb's name. Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut tweeted on Monday, "See who is using the language of changing father..Mr. Kesarkar. Have a little patience. Don't lose sight of the nature of the mountain bush. Do you know them Jai Maharashtra!"

Meanwhile, Shiv Sena rebel leader Eknath Shinde's supporters have been appealed to gather in Maharashtra's Thane at 10 am, ahead of the Supreme Court's hearing on pleas filed by the Shinde camp over disqualification notices to rebel MLAs.
