Fadnavis's 'Speaker's Directive Not Divine Word' Remark Sparks Row
•Shiv Sena (UBT) criticizes CM Devendra Fadnavis's statement that Speaker's directives are not 'final' or 'divine words'.
•The controversy stems from a clash over the Satara District Council President post, where police allegedly sided with BJP.
•Deputy Chairperson Neelam Gorhe instructed the suspension of Satara SP Tushar Doshi, but Fadnavis refused, citing executive power.
•Uddhav Thackeray faction demands Fadnavis declare the January 10, 2024, MLA disqualification decision as not 'divine words' if Speaker's directives aren't supreme.
•The editorial highlights the 'double standard', recalling how Fadnavis and Shinde faction accepted the previous Speaker's decision as 'divine words'.
