Mumbai|June, 29 : Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari has asked the Maharashtra Legislature Secretary to hold a floor test of Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government at 11am on Thursday.
The letter comes amid the rebellion in the ruling Shiv Sena by senior minister Eknath Shinde, who has been camping in Guwahati for the past week with majority of party legislators and several Independent MLAs, which has pushed the government led by Thackeray, who is also the Sena president, into a crisis.
In his letter sent to Maharashtra Legislature’s Principal Secretary Rajendra Bhagwat, Koshyari, said, “A special session of the Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha shall be summoned on June 30 (Thursday) at 11am with the only agenda of a trust vote against the chief minister, and the proceedings shall be concluded in any case by 5 pm.”
