Amidst the political twists and turns in Maharashtra, a writ petition has been filed in the Supreme Court by Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress against the dramatic decision of the Maharashtra Governor to invite BJP to form government today morning.
Watch this space for live updates on this story.
The petitioners seek a declaration from a Court that Governor's decision to invite Devendra Fadnavis to form the Government as "unconstitutional, arbitrary, illegal, void-ab-initio, and violative of Article 14 of Constitution of India".
As per the petition, BJP @BJP clearly falls short of the halfway mark of 144. In any event the BJP cannot get the support of majority through legal constitutional means in the face of the anti-defection provisions of the Tenth Schedule.
As per the petition, the BJP has not placed any objective material before the Governor for showing majority. No demonstration either by letters of support or by parading of MLAs has been done by the BJP.
The Governor acted unconstitutionally by inviting BJP to form the government, ignoring the "Maha Vikas Aghadi" alliance having 154 members in the 288 member house, stated the petition filed by Sena-Congress-NCP.
