Maharashtra: Devendra Fadnavis, Ajit Pawar step down 3 days after swearing in
Mumbai: Hours after Supreme Court ordered Maharashtra floor test, Devendra Fadnavis resigned as Chief Minister of Maharashtra on Wednesday. Fadnavis stepped down from his post hours after his deputy Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Ajit Pawar had tendered his resignation.
Fadnavis admitted that they realised they do not have the numbers and they do not want to indulge in horse trading.
Addressing the media, Fadnavis said, “In elections, clear majority was given to Mahayuti and BJP got maximum 105 seats. We contested with Shiv Sena, but this mandate was for BJP because BJP won 70 per cent seats out of all seats we contested.”
“We don’t have majority after Ajit Pawar’s resignation as Dy CM. BJP will become the voice of the people as opposition,” Fadnavis added.
Fadnavis admitted that he will go to Raj Bhawan to tender resignation. “Best wishes to whoever forms the next government,” said Devendra Farnavis.
The resignations also set Twitter abuzz with humorous memes, clippings and comments.
NCP’s National Spokesperson Nawab Malik termed the apex court ruling as “Satyameva Jayate… BJP’s game is over”.
BJP state President Chandrakant Patil said that the party respects the court verdict and “we shall prove our majority on the Assembly floor tomorrow”.
Sena MP Sanjay Raut hailed the verdict and said the apex court had given “30 hours times, but we can prove our majority in 30 minutes today”.
Terming as a victory of democracy, former Chief Minister and Congress leader Ashok Chavan said that the verdict will ensure that “horse-trading will be reined in while democracy will be strengthened”.
