In the wake of the political crisis unfolding in Maharashtra, certain remarks made by the Supreme Court regarding the emerging trend of poaching of legislators and engineering of rebellion to destabilize elected governments assume relevance. The Court's remarks came in the cases related to Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, which witnessed scenes of a group of MLAs within the ruling coalition announcing a sudden rebellion, followed by the rebel MLAs remaining incommunicado and confining themselves in locations (often resorts) in other states and the government collapsing after falling short of required numbers. Similar scenes are playing in Maharashtra as well, with the rebel leader Eknath Shinde and his supporters remaining untraceable before being found in Gujarat. During the wee hours of today, the rebel MLAs were taken to Assam by flight.
