New Delhi: With a major political change in Maharashtra, Uddhav Thackeray has resigned as chief minister. During the political crisis, there was also a tussle between the governor and party leaders. When Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari ordered Uddhav Thackeray to conduct a floor test, the Shiv Sena leader’s stand was hardened.
Though the party challenged the decision in the Supreme Court, it did not get any relief from the Supreme Court over the floor test. On Wednesday, party leader Sanjay Raut was also furious. He had even termed the governor’s decision as unconstitutional.
In fact, the Maharashtra Governor had on Wednesday, June 29, said that the Uddhav government should face the floor test at 11 am on Thursday, after which Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut had said that the Constitution was being flouted. The CM himself had also indirectly expressed displeasure over the decision.
