The government had the support of 12 MLAs while the BJP had 115 MLAs and 4 other MLAs were in opposition.
Mumbai, With the defeat in the Legislative Council elections in Maharashtra, the current turmoil in Maharashtra politics has taken place and one of the reasons is the big leader of Maharashtra Shiv Sena Eknath Shinde. After the arrival of senior Shiv Sena MLA and Cabinet Minister Eknath Shinde in Gujarat, the crisis is getting worse for the Uddhav government. Eknath Shinde is staying in a hotel in Surat with 20 MLAs.
It also includes many independent MLAs supporting the Shiv Sena and Uddhav government. In such a situation, it is a challenge to retain power against CM Uddhav. BJP has 102 MLAs in the assembly. Including independents, the number had reached 114.
But he got 12 votes in Rajya Sabha elections and 18 votes in MLC elections. Thus, after Eknath Shinde openly raised the flag of rebellion, a political crisis has arisen against CM Uddhav Thackeray. The Maharashtra Legislative Assembly has a total of 9 members, so 12 MLAs are needed to form the government. One Shiv Sena MLA has passed away, due to which there are now 6 MLAs and the government needs 12 MLAs.
Prior to Shinde’s uprising, the Shiv Sena-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government had the support of 12 MLAs, while the BJP had 115 MLAs and nine others in opposition. The Uddhav Thackeray-led government had the support of 12 MLAs. Among them are 6 MLAs from Shiv Sena, 4 from NCP and 2 from Congress. Apart from this, the government also had the support of 3 SP MLAs, 3 PGP MLAs, 3 BVA MLAs and 3 independent MLAs.
The main opposition BJP in Maharashtra has the support of 112 MLAs. These include 108 from BJP, 1 from RSP, 1 from JSS and 2 independents. At the same time, other parties have 8 MLAs. These include 2 MLAs from AIMIM, 1 from CPI (M) and 1 from MNS. Maharashtra has 4 MLAs from smaller parties and independents.
Some of these smaller parties and independent MLAs are with the BJP and some with the Maha Vikas Aghadi. BJP has the support of 112 MLAs while Vikas Aghadi has 18 MLAs. In such a situation, BJP will have to get the support of 21 MLAs to form its own government in Maharashtra. SS3KP
