Tag: floor test

In a small extension to the drama that underwent in Maharashtra last week, the Bhartiya Janta Party staged a walkout today in the first session of the Parliament. BJP is the single largest party in the state with a total of 105 MLAs in the assembly. The main reason for the walkout as painted by the BJP was that it is being conducted in an ‘unlawful manner’, indicating towards the swearing-in of the ministers and the convening of the house session. Despite the uproar in the Parliament, the Maha Vikas Aghadi front led by Uddhav Thackrey comfortably sailed in the floor test with a total of 169 votes in their favour. The BJP has 105 MLAs in the assembly saying a post-poll alliance as entered into by the three parties is nothing but unlawful.

In a decision pending before the Supreme Court in a plea filed by NCP-Sena-Congress alliance, the judgment is pronounced. The Supreme Court vide its decision has ordered for a floor test tomorrow. The test will conclusively decide on the strength of the BJP-led Maharashtra government. The opposition of NCP-Sena-Congress alliance is headstrong to claim that they do not have necessary support.
