Sena-NCP-Cong wins trust vote; BJP MLAs walk out
November 30, 2019

Time for fireworks and celebrations for the Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress. 

Uddhav Thackeray passes required number to prove majority. At the final headcount, it was 169 for Uddhav Thackeray.

This victory took place as the BJP staged a walk out alleging that the assembly session was unconstitutional.  Devendra Fadnavis argued on four points:

>> Why was protem speaker changed?

>> Why national song was not played before the Assembly began?

>> BJP was informed at 1 am about the trust vote, hence not all BJP MLAs could be present.

>> Oath taken by ministers unconstitutional. 

The 169 number is past the 145 mark that Uddhav needed to win the floor test.
