29 June
Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday resigned ahead of floor test tomorrow. The Supreme Court rejected Uddhav government's plea and refused to stay the floor test in the Maharashtra assembly tomorrow. A vacation bench of Justices Surya Kant and J B Pardiwala heard arguments on behalf of Shiv Sena, its rebel MLAs led by Eknath Shinde, and the Governor on the plea in the hearing conducted after 5 pm through hybrid mode.
BJP begins celebrations. Sweets are brought out at Hotel Taj President where BJP MLAs have gathered.I am not the one to be scared, but rather than spilling the blood of the Shiv Sainiks on the streets, I will step down.I don't care for the post, I care for support of my Shiv Sainiks,says Uddhav.
