Maharashtra Floor Test: Speaker will issue notice to sack 16 MLAs of uddhav camp, uddhav reaches SC. Eknath Shinde, who became chief minister with the help of alliance with bjp by 'coup' of uddhav thackeray, has proved his majority on the floor of the assembly. A total of 164 votes have been cast in favor of the Eknath Shinde government in the floor test, which is more than the magic figure of majority - 144 to 20 votes. With this, this chapter of the political crisis and rebellious episode that has been going on in maharashtra for the last almost 2 weeks has ended for now.
The trust vote was proposed by BJP's Sudhir Mungantiwar and Shiv Sena's chief whip Bharat Gogawale. After the voice vote, the opposition demanded a division of vote (one vote count) on the motion of trust vote.
The Speaker of the assembly gave his assent to this demand and the process of counting of votes began. For this the members were asked to stand for the count.

On Sunday, the first day of the two-day special session called in maharashtra, BJP's rahul Narvekar was elected the new Speaker of the Assembly. This has given a big lead to the rebel shiv sena MLAs and the ruling alliance of bjp even before the floor test. uddhav thackeray, on the other hand, knows that the new Speaker will not take any action against his claims of being a 'real Shiv Sainik' and the anti-defection law against rebels.

The election of the Speaker of the assembly was telling - the rebel shiv sena and bjp have the numbers
Days after taking over the maharashtra government, the BJP-Shinde group alliance easily overcame its first challenge in the state assembly on Sunday. bjp mla rahul Narvekar won the election of the Speaker's post. While Narvekar got 164 votes, the rival candidate of uddhav Thackeray-led shiv sena, Rajan Salvi, got only 107 votes.
Rahul Narvekar gave the first blow to uddhav thackeray as soon as he became the Speaker of the Assembly. The newly elected Speaker gave relief to the Shinde camp by rejecting the appointment of mla Ajay Choudhary as the leader of the shiv sena Legislature Party. Along with this, he also canceled the appointment of mla Sunil Prabhu as Chief Whip of Shiv Sena. Both Chaudhary and Prabhu are from the uddhav thackeray camp.In addition, the Speaker upheld the appointment of Eknath Shinde as the leader of the shiv sena Legislature party in 2019. That is, the first experiment of the alliance of BJP-Shinde faction (Assembly Speaker) has given an easy stage punishment for them in the floor test to be held on Monday.
