There will be no Leader of Opposition in Maharashtra
The maharashtra assembly elections have shocked the opposition Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA) at many levels. The Mahavikas Aghadi could not gain power and many of its big leaders also lost the elections. Now the crisis of not having a leader of Opposition in the assembly has also arisen because the main opposition party has not been able to get as many seats as are necessary to become the leader of Opposition.
To become the leader of Opposition, the opposition party should have 10 percent of the seats in the Assembly. At least 28 seats should be with an opposition party, but in the Mahavikas Aghadi, neither congress, nor Shiv Sena-UBT nor NCP-SP have been able to get 10 percent seats. congress got 16, Shiv Sena-UBT got 20 and NCP-SP got 10 seats. The performance of these parties has been very disappointing.
Such was the performance in 1967
This will be the first time since 1967 that there will be no leader of Opposition in the maharashtra Legislative Assembly. At that time, there were 270 seats in the maharashtra Assembly. Out of these, congress alone won 203 seats. PWP won 19, cpi 10, PSP 8, RPI 5, BJS 4, SSP 4, CPM 1 seat while 16 independents were elected.
These big leaders have taken over the responsibility of leader of Opposition
Personalities like Manohar Joshi, Narayan Rane, Eknath Khadse, Radha krishna Vikhe Patil, Devendra Fadnavi, ajit pawar and Vijay Wadettiwar have been the leader of Opposition. After the 2019 assembly elections, there was a maha Vikas Aghadi government for the first two and a half years and a Mahayuti government for the next two and a half years. devendra fadnavis was the leader of Opposition in the maha Vikas Aghadi government.
