Maharashtra Assembly Arithmetic Explained As Minister Missing With MLAs

Maharashtra

The Maharashtra Assembly has 288 members in total. There are now 285 legislators after the imprisonment of two and the death of one. As a result, there is currently a 143 percent majority in the Assembly.

After Sena leader and minister Eknath Shinde reportedly relocated to a hotel in Surat in BJP-ruled Gujarat with 21 other party MLAs, the Maharashtra administration of Uddhav Thackeray appeared to be in jeopardy.

Here are five observations about how the figures compare:

  1. The Maharashtra Assembly has 288 members in total. The number has decreased to 287 with the death of one legislator. In the event of a trust vote, this means that the Assemblyโ€™s majority mark is now 144.
  2. There are presently 152 legislators serving in the Sena, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), and Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi administration. Additionally, the alliance says certain Independents favor it.
  3. There are 56 MLAs in the Sena, 22 of whom are rumored to be hiding out in the Surat hotel. The number of the Sena drops to 34 if these MLAs, led by minister Eknath Shinde, quit.
  4. The Maha Vikas Aghadiโ€™s strength in the House will drop to 130 as a result. The new majority threshold in the House will be 133 after the resignation of 22 MLAs.
  5. The BJP currently asserts that it has 135 MLAs, two more than the threshold for a majority. However, if these 22 Sena MLAs attempt to defect, they will be required to resign in accordance with the anti-defection statute and be re-elected in by-elections.

Manish Sisodia Swipes On PM Modiโ€™s Ploy Over The CBI Raid

manish sisodia jibes at PM
The CBI sources, however, have denied the claim that a LOC was issued to 13 accused, including Manish Sisodia, restricting them from travelling abroad.

 

Mumbai: Manish Sisodia, the deputy chief minister of Delhi, attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a new tweet today, stating that although he is โ€œroaming freelyโ€ in Delhi, a LOC was issued against him in connection with the current investigation into claims of corruption in the liquor policy.

Manish Sisodia tweeted, โ€œAll your raids have failed, nothing was found. Now, you have issued a lookout notice against me. What is this gimmick Modi ji? I am right here in Delhi, please tell me where should I come.โ€

 

But according to CBI sources, Mr. Sisodia was not the subject of a LOC issued by the investigating body barring him from leaving the country.

On Friday, the investigation agency conducted searches at Manish Sisodiaโ€™s home, who also oversees the Excise Department, and 31 other places spread across seven states due to suspicions of corruption in the liquor policy.

The CBIโ€™s FIR on violations of the liquor regulation names Mr. Sisodia as the first of 15 accused. The 11-page document lists the following offences: corruption, criminal conspiracy, and account falsification.

Mr. Sisodia claimed on Saturday that the Prime Minister and the BJP-controlled government were โ€œmisusing the federal agencies against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) since its work in the education and health sectors is being discussed internationally.

He said that the โ€œhigh leadershipโ€ had given the CBI agents the go-ahead to search his home.

Mr. Sisodia claimed that the centre sought to prevent Arvind Kejriwal, the leader of the AAP and the chief minister of Delhi, from challenging Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the impending general election in 2024.
