Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government faces a floor test today after Sunday's big win where BJP's Rahul Narvekar was elected as the Speaker. The special two-day session of the State Legislative Assembly comes after a high-voltage political drama in the state where a new government led by rebel Shiv Sena MLA Shinde came to power toppling the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) regime. Earlier on Sunday evening, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, along with his faction of Shiv Sena MLAs, held a meeting with Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis, BJP MLAs, and other party leaders at a hotel in Mumbai to chalk out a strategy for the floor test.
Today is the day of the final test for the Eknath Shinde government of Maharashtra... We will 100% win the Maharashtra floor test: Union Minister & BJP leader Raosaheb Patil Danve to ANI ahead of floor test in the House today
Trust vote propsped by BJP's Sudhir Mungantiwar & Shiv Sena's Bharat Gogawale. After voice vote, on proposal of trust vote, opposition demands a division of vote Speaker allows the demand & begins the division of votes, asks members to stand for head count
Shyamsundar Shinde joined Eknath Shinde group just before the trust vote. So, since yesterday 2 Shiv Sena MLAs have switched sides. Aaditya Thackeray has not reached the House yet.
Eknath Shinde got 164 votes in his favour during trust vote in the Assembly. Now votes against the trust vote will be counted from the opposition benches.
In politics, everyone should be prepared to listen to adversary's voices. We've seen that people were jailed for making statements &posting on social media. We should be prepared for people speaking against us. We should respond to criticism but in a proper way: Maharashtra Dy CM
I had once said that I'll come back. But when I said that, several people mocked me. I've come back today and brought him (Eknath Shinde) along with me. I won't take revenge on people who mocked me. I'll forgive them, everything isn't taken to heart in politics: Devendra Fadnavis
Our alliance had received the mandate but we were deliberately taken away from the majority. But with Eknath Shinde, we have once again formed our Govt with Shiv Sena. A true Shivsainik has been made the CM. I became the Deputy CM as per my party's command: Maharashtra Deputy CM
Whatever decisions were taken in the last cabinet, about renaming, we will uphold those decisions as we're of the same view. We'll have to re-affirm those decisions as last cabinet wasn't as per rules as Governor had already asked the govt to face floor test: Maharashtra Dy CM
