Sena-NCP-Cong to urge Maharashtra Guv to appoint Balasaheb Thorat as Pro-Tem Speaker

Mumbai/IBNS: The Shiv Sena-Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)-Congress alliance will urge Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari to appoint senior Congress MLA Balasaheb Thorat as the Pro-Tem Speaker for the floor test which will take place in the assembly on Wednesday.

NCP leader Jayant Patil said, "Balasaheb Thorat is an eight-time MLA and he is way more experienced so we will urge the Governor to appoint him as the Pro-Tem Speaker."

The Supreme Court has directed a floor test by 5 pm on Wednesday.

The Supreme Court passed the judgement on the plea filed by the Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress against the government formation by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s Devendra Fadnavis on early morning on Saturday.

A three-Judge bench headed by Justice NV Ramana directed that the floor test should be telecast live and the voting in the assembly should be undertaken through 'open ballot'.

The bench which comprised Justice Ashok Bhushan and Sanjiv Khanna, said that Koshyari will appoint a Pro-Tem Speaker.
