Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde, son of Maharashtra Chief Minister <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/Eknath-Shinde-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Eknath Shinde</a>, on Tuesday said he expects a favourable Supreme Court verdict on the political row in the state.
Speaking to reporters at <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/maharashtra-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Nagpur airport</a>, the Shinde junior claimed two-thirds of MLAs of (undivided) Shiv Sena are with CM Shinde.
The Supreme Court had reserved its verdict on a batch of cross-petitions filed by factions led by Uddhav Thackeray and CM Shinde pertaining to the Maharashtra political crisis after hearing arguments advanced on behalf of both sides.

The Uddhav Thackeray-led faction has sought disqualification of MLAs of the Shinde camp who split Shiv Sena last June and formed a government with BJP.
"The Election Commission had ruled in our favour (by recognising the Shinde camp as the real Shiv Sena and allotting it the 'bow and arrow' symbol). I am optimistic that the ruling of the top court will also be in favour of Shiv Sena because we are technically right. We enjoy more than a two-thirds majority (of Shiv Sena MLAs). The Supreme Court will take an appropriate decision," Shrikant Shinde said.
The SC verdict is expected in the next few days.
