Following an appeal by the BJP, Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari has issued directions to the crisis-hit Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government to prove its majority in the state assembly on Thursday (June 30).
Koshyari has convened a special session of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly tomorrow with the sole agenda being the trust vote against Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.
However, Shiva Sena is set to rush to the Supreme Court and appeal against the holding of a trust vote when a decision on the disqualification of rebel MLAs was already put on hold by the court.
BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis met Koshyari at the Raj Bhavan in south Mumbai and submitted a letter to him. He claimed the Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress ruling coalition seemed to be in a minority as 39 Sena MLAs led by Eknath Shinde have said they do not support the government.

“How can a floor test be asked for when the disqualification of 16 MLA has deferred by the Supreme Court till 11th July? How can these MLAs participate in the floor test till their disqualification status not decided and the other matters for which notice sent is sub judice?” Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi tweeted.
“This would be contempt of court proceedings if floor test conducted despite the matter not getting final hearing in the SC [Supreme Court],” she said.
The rebel MLAs led by Eknath Shinde, who are staying at a five-star hotel in Assam’s Guwahati, will have return to Mumbai to participate in the trust vote.
