The Supreme Court will pass an order at 10.30 am on Tuesday on the issue of floor test for the Maharashtra government led by Devendra Fadnavis whose swearing-in has been challenged by Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress combine. On Monday, the NCP and the Congress put up a public show of strength to claim they have the numbers to form a new government. Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray during the event asked the BJP to “make way” for the Sena-NCP-Congress alliance to rule Maharashtra. He was speaking at a joint parade of MLAs of the three parties, held at a luxury hotel in suburban Mumbai.
NCP chief Sharad Pawar, who was also present, said BJP misused power to grab power even in states where voters hadn’t given their mandate to it.
