Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar, who took oath as chief minister and deputy chief minister on Saturday, resigned from their posts.
Three days after he took oath as the chief minister of Maharashtra, claiming a post-poll alliance with NCP’s Ajit Pawar, Devendra Fadnavis tendered his resignation to the Governor Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, Pawar resigned as the deputy chief minister hours after the Supreme Court passed an order directing floor test in the state. “We do not have majority after Ajit Pawar’s resignation,” Fadnavis said announcing his intent to resign. “We realised we don’t have the numbers and we don’t want to indulge in horse trading,” he said.
Addressing the press, Fadnavis said the poll mandate was for the BJP more so than the Shiv Sena, adding that no discussions were held with the former ally on a rotational CM post. “We won more than 70 percent seats while Sena won around 40 percent seats,” he said. In the 288-member Assembly, the BJP won 105 seats while the Sena won 56.
Ruling in favour of the Sena-NCP-Congress combine, the top court ordered Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis to face a floor test on Wednesday. A three-judge bench headed by Justice NV Ramana and comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Ashok Bhushan Tuesday said the floor test will be conducted through an open ballot and the proceeding will be recorded on video.
The bench also took note that one month had passed since the declaration of the Assembly elections results and no member had taken oath. It further directed the Governor to appoint a protem speaker who will administer oath to the newly elected members. The entire process must be concluded by 5 pm, the bench said.
