Fadnavis-Ajit Pawar bow out
| | | | | | | After his dramatic oath taking on Saturday morning, Devendra Fadnavis's dreams of returning to power in Maharashtra were crushed as he had to resigned as chief minister and claiming the BJP did not want to indulge in horse-trading. Fadnavis told the media at press briefing that the party will function as a strong opposition and not form a government, he said.
His decision comes a day before there was supposed to be a floor test at the Maharashtra Assembly.
Fadnavis said he would submit his resignation to the governor after the press conference, hours after the Supreme Court ordered the BJP government led by him to prove its majority on the floor of the House by 5 pm on Wednesday.
Ahead of Fadnavis’ press briefing, NCP chief Sharad Pawar’s nephew Ajit Pawar resigned as deputy chief minister. Fadnavis said Ajit Pawar had submitted his resignation saying that he couldn’t continue in alliance “due to personal reasons”. |
