Supreme Court begins hearing on plea filed by Shiv Sena, NCP, Congress
New Delhi/IBNS: The Supreme Court began its hearing on the plea filed by the Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party and Congress against the Centre's move to revoke Presidential rule in Maharashtra and Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari's step to invite Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Devendra Fadnavis to form the government.
The top court has asked the government to submit two letters, one of Fadnavis' letter claiming majority and other of NCP leader Ajit Pawar's letter of support.
The court is likely to pronounce its verdict on Monday.
The twist to the Maharashtra politics came on early Saturday morning when NCP chief Sharad Pawar's nephew and party leader Ajit handed over a letter to the Governor supporting the BJP.
Ajit had claimed he had the support of 35 NCP MLAs.
Later, Pawar had called meeting and counted the heads of his party MLAs.
The NCP claims all 54 MLAs including the rebel ones have comeback to support the Sena-led government.
