Maharashtra: BJP calls meeting of all MLAs at 9 pm today

| @indiablooms | Nov 26, 2019, at 01:20 pm

Mumbai/IBNS: Ahead of the floor test on Wednesday, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has called a meeting of its 105 MLAs at 9 pm at Garware Club in Wankhede Stadium here on Tuesday.

BJP leader Rao Saheb Danve claimed his party will prove majority in the floor test which has been ordered by the Supreme Court to take place by 5 pm on Wednesday.

The apex court gave the order on the petition jointly filed by the Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Congress against the formation of BJP-led state government in Maharashtra last week.

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 Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari will appoint a Pro-Tem Speaker.

In a show of strength, the Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress paraded all its 162 MLAs at a hotel on Monday evening and asked them to take a pledge that they will not crossover and be with the alliance.

On last Saturday, NCP chief Sharad Pawar's nephew and party leader Ajit Pawar along with few other MLAs extended support to the BJP which formed the government under Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

Ajit took oath as Fadnavis' deputy in early morning on Saturday.
