BJP-Led Govt Likely To Be Formed On July 1, Rebel Sena MLAs Land in Goa | Highlights
Maharashtra Political Crisis: Uddhav Thackeray's announcement of resignation came minutes after the Supreme Court refused to stay Maharashtra Governor's direction to take a floor test in the Assembly on Thursday.
Maharashtra Political Crisis Updates: In a significant development, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday said he is quitting the post. “I am also quitting as member of Legislative Council,” Thackeray said in a webcast. His announcement came minutes after the Supreme Court refused to stay Maharashtra Governor’s direction to the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government to take a floor test in the Assembly on Thursday.
During the hearing, the apex court said the result of the floor test would be subject to the outcome of the Supreme court case. Issues relating to the power of the speaker and the Governor will be heard on July 11. In the meantime, Section 144 has been imposed in Mumbai and other areas as preventive measures.
Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court heard the plea by Shiv Sena against Maharashtra Governor’s directions for a floor test on Thursday at 11 AM. Senior advocate A M Singhvi, appearing for Shiv Sena chief whip Sunil Prabhu, told SC that Governor admits to having met BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis late last night and directed floor test this morning. “Supersonic speed shown by the Governor in directing floor test. If Speaker is allowed to decide on disqualification, the contents of the pool of MLAs may change, will affect floor test. Allowing the floor test before decision on disqualification is like putting the cart before the horse. The Governor short circuits the disqualification proceedings, despite SC being seized of the matter,” he told SC.
