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.

The oath-ceremony of the first chief minister from the Thackrey family- Uddhave Thackrey was organised in the state with full pomp and show. After a dramatic turnout of the event, the oath-taking is now seen as an opulent show of power for the next five years in the state of Maharashtra. With lights and colours across the state was a show of win for the Maha Vikas Aghadi. It is reported that the stage on which Uddhav Thackrey took the oath of being the chief minister was designed by a renowned set designer of Bollywood- Nitin Desai.
