In a letter to Gorhe, Danve said he had always tried to maintain the decorum, rules and tradition of the House. He said he was keen to participate in the proceedings and discuss issues related to farmers, working class, youth and women and was ready to tender an apology in the council. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray had tendered an apology on Danve’s behalf on Tuesday.

Earlier in the day, Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC Anil Parab urged Gorhe to reconsider her decision to suspend Danve. He claimed that no leader of the Opposition had been suspended like Danve and that the House could fully function in the absence of the Leader of the Opposition. He alleged that opposition MLCs would not participate in the proceedings if Danve’s suspension was not withdrawn and took them to the well of the House. Gorhe then agreed to a meeting and asked them to return to their seats.
