Maharashtra minister and senior Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde is not in Mumbai, but has been contacted.
Party MP Sanjay Raut gave this information on Tuesday.
A party leader had earlier said that some Shiv Sena MLAs and Shinde could not be contacted.
A day earlier, the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance suffered a setback after it lost the Maharashtra Legislative Council elections.
Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Congress are constituents of the MVA.
According to sources, Shinde along with some Shiv Sena MLAs is camping at a hotel in Gujarat’s Surat city.
Raut told reporters in Mumbai that it was true that some MLAs could not be contacted on Monday night after the Legislative Council elections, but the party has now managed to reach out to some of them.
Raut said, “Eknath Shinde is not in Mumbai but contact has been made with him.”
Raut, however, did not elaborate on the number of MLAs accompanying Shinde.
Along with this, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut said that there is no crisis on the Udvav Thackeray government, there will be no storm and earthquake for the government.
