A day after the BJP Government won the vote of confidence through a voice vote in the Maharashtra Assembly, the Opposition Shiv Sena submitted a memorandum to Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao questioning the constitutionality of the Devendra Fadnavis Government, while the Congress announced that it was examining legal options to challenge the controversial trust vote.
On a day when the Bombay High Court dismissed a petition filed by RPI led by Prakash Ambedkar seeking dissolution of the newly-formed Assembly in Maharashtra and imposition of President's Rule, a delegation of Sena functionaries, led by leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly Eknath Shinde, questioned the Constitutional validity of the confidence vote.
In its five-page memorandum to the Governor, the Sena delegation questioned the manner in which the Speaker dwelt with the confidence motion moved by the BJP’s MlA Ashish Shelar in the Assembly, seeking the vote of confidence and the manner the Chair refused to entertain the Opposition’s demand for division of votes.
