Mumbai: Shiv Sena mulls approaching SC if Governor asks MVAS to go for a floor test

Shiv Sena is mulling approaching the Supreme Court again if Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari asks the party-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government to go for a floor test. The Shiv Sena MP Anil Desai said that the Supreme Court on Monday asked Eknath Shinde and other MLAs to file their reply to disqualification notices issued to them by the Deputy Speaker of Maharashtra Assembly by July 12, 5.30 pm. ‘’If the Governor asks the MVA government to prove majority in the state assembly before July 12, when the next hearing is slated, the Shiv Sena will certainly move to the apex court,’’ he said, adding that the apex court during a hearing on Monday had said that Shiv Sena can approach them anytime, especially if the no-confidence motion is moved against the MVA government before July 12.

Desai said that BJP although has been saying that it was in wait and watch mode it has been working as per its plan.

Desai said that the party president Uddhav Thackeray has appealed to the rebel legislators to come for talks to find a way out of the present stalemate. “They need to respond and consider the CM's appeal,’’ he noted.
