The plea claims that #BJP did not take it well that the Shivsena formed the government with NCP and Congress, breaking away its alliance with the BJP. #MaharashtraPolitcalCrisis #UddhavThackeray

According to the plea, “the scheming of the BJP” to create divisions within the Shivsena manifested itself in the recently conducted MLC elections. BJP had orchestrated cross-voting within the MVA and particularly within the Shivsena.

The plea claims that the governor’s communication is BASED ON MEDIA REPORTS. NONE OF THE 39 MLAs have written to the Governor about their decision to withdraw support from the MVA led government.

It says “It is surprising that the LEADER OF OPPOSTION meets the governor at 10:00pm on June 28, and the impugned communications are also of the same date. This only shows the undue haste with which the Hon’ble Governor has acted.” #MaharashtraPoliticalCrisis #Eknath_Shinde

BREAKING: The plea states “The impugned directions, it SEEMS, HAVE BEEN ISSUED ON THE “AID AND ADVICE OF THE LEADER OF OPPOSITION”, which is clearly not contemplated under the constitution.”

It has been contended that there is absolutely no ground or material to call for an urgent floor test on 30.06.2022 when #SupremeCourt is already seized of parallel proceedings and wherein constitutional issues are to be decided.
