Maharashtra Congress MLAs to fly back to Mumbai

November 13, 2019 08:55

Maharashtra Congress MLAs will return to Mumbai today. The 44 MLAs were kept at a resort in Jaipur to avoid poaching attempts by BJP. The MLAs will fly to Mumbai after President's rule has been imposed in the state.

Maharashtra governor BS Koshyari yesterday recommended President's rule in the state. Officials said that the Union Cabinet had recommended President's Rule in the state after Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari submitted a report in this regard. President Ram Nath Kovind signed a proclamation imposing President's Rule in Maharashtra under Article 356(1).

Further, lawyers of the Shiv Sena moved Supreme Court and sought an urgent hearing against Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari's refusal to grant more time to the party to submit the required letters of support to form the next government on Monday night.

The lawyers, appearing for the Sena, said they have made a request to the registrar for according urgent hearing on Tuesday itself and said they are yet to get a response. The Shiv Sena has termed the governor's Monday decision as unconstitutional, unreasonable and mala fide.
