Uddhav Thackeray resigns before the floor test

Op India  

Facing inevitable defeat in floor test in assembly tomorrow, Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray announced his resignation today evening. The Maha Vikas Aghadi government was already in a minority as Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde had rebelled with about fifty MLAs in the assembly out of which 40 were from Shiv Sena. Even after the resignation of the chief minister, Shiv Sena is yet to face the question of which Shiv Sena stands legal of the two camps formed after Eknath Shinde’s coup, as Shinde has already secured the support of more than two-thirds of the total number of Shiv Sena MLAs in the assembly house. Now, those who want to draw the happiness through this evil and celebrate, I urge Shiv Sainiks not to be a hurdle in their way of celebration.” Minutes before the CM’s address, the Supreme Court refused to intervene with the Maharashtra Governor’s direction to Uddhav Thackeray-led SS-NCP-Cong ruling coalition to prove majority in Assembly on June 30, with voting at 5 pm.
