In the given situations, who would say the Congress is exaggerating in demanding the resignation of Governor Koshiyari. Legally the game is in favour of the Governor, given the immunity under Article 361 but morally he is now pulled from all sides. Given the record, it is not likely for the BJP to end the melodrama on this note. What becomes interesting is what more desperate measures are left with the BJP to reveal to the world in their hunger for power. So is operation lotus has a game over or has it paused to hit back the political fora harder? 

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.

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.

In an unprecedented manner of a show of strength, with banners reading 'We are 162' and the Constitution, the MLAs of the three parties- Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress pledged loyalty to the leadership of Uddhav Thackeray, Sharad Pawar and Sonia Gandhi at Grand Hyatt, Mumbai on Monday. In what is now being mocked as a 'political fashion show', it was a show of strength that has morally bound the BJP from all ends.
