Fadnavis conceded defeat even before the floor test
In the history of Maharashtra so far, no government has failed the floor test. In the recent political developments, Devendra Fadnavis was in a position to fail in the floor test, but he gave up before the power test in the House and submitted his resignation to the Governor. After Fadnavis formed the government, Shiv Sena challenged the Governor’s decision in the Supreme Court. Devendra Fadnavis resigned 80 hours after the oath, after the Supreme Court’s decision to prove its early majority. After the resignation of Fadnavis, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray took the oath of Chief Minister on November 28 at Chhatrapati Shivaji Stadium.
