The Supreme Court ordered a floor test for the formation of government in Maharashtra. A few hours later, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, who took oath 4 days ago, resigned from the post. Opposition parties Shiv Sena, Congress and NCP went to the Supreme Court regarding the floor test. This is not the first case when political parties have moved the Supreme Court to form government in the states. Earlier, 4 such cases have been reported.

The second term of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for five years did not last even for four days. Fadnavis was sworn in as chief minister on Saturday morning, on the basis of Ajit Pawar's trust, and immediately removed President's rule from the center. Ajit was made the Deputy Chief Minister. In just three days after forming a secret government, Ajit Pawar realized that uncle Sharad Pawar had the key to power. On Tuesday morning, the Supreme Court ruled on the floor test, and in the afternoon, Ajit Pawar quietly resigned. Fadnavis also announced his resignation after an hour. In this way, after winning the Lok Sabha elections with an absolute majority, Maharashtra the first major state eloped from the hands of BJP. BJP MLA Kalidas Columbkar was made the protem speaker and has called the first session of the assembly at 8 am on Wednesday, in which the MLAs will be administered the oath.

Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray hit back at BJP and Devendra Fadnavis. In the press conference, Uddhav said that Devendra Fadnavis listed all the reasons for not being able to form a government. He listed the list of charges. We want to say that we do what we say. Our work is not like BJP.

In Maharashtra, the BJP formed the government for the first time in 2014 and achieved a special achievement for the first time. This was the first time in 50 years that a Chief Minister had completed his five-year term. Before Devendra Fadnavis, Congress Chief Minister Vasantrao Naik had not only completed his five-year term but also became the Chief Minister again.
