Mumbai : The Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress government in Maharashtra, led by Uddhav Thackeray, sailed through the trust vote in the Maharashtra assembly on Saturday after over a month of intense power struggle that saw allies parting ways and bitter rivals coming together to form an alliance.
The floor test began with high drama as the BJP members, led by Mr Fadnavis, walked out just before voting. The BJP is protesting against the selection of Nationalist Congress Party’s Dilip Walse Patil as temporary speaker. Mr Patil had replaced BJP’s Kalidas Kolambkar as pro-tem speaker and a permanent speaker will be elected tomorrow.
