Supreme Court asks Centre for papers on govt formation

Hindustan Times  

The Supreme Court ordered on Sunday the Centre to produce before it on Monday documents pertaining to the swearing-in of Devendra Fadnavis as Maharashtra chief minister as it heard a petition by Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party and Congress challenging governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari’s decision to invite the Bharatiya Janata Party to form the government in the state on Saturday. Fadnavis was sworn in as the chief minister on Saturday morning, hours after NCP chief Sharad Pawar announced that Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray would head the Maha Vikas Aghadi coalition government of the three parties. The BJP does not want to hold a floor test soon.” Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who also appeared for the alliance, told the court that 41 NCP lawmakers have signed a resolution removing Ajit Pawar as their legislature party leader. It is better if he quits on his own, else face defeat on the floor of the House during the trust vote.” Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala said that they moved the SC for a floor test to prove that the government formed by the BJP and Ajit Pawar “is an illegitimate one which does not have a majority”.
