Two All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen MLAs, 1 CPI-M MLA and the 1 MNS MLA stood neutral (did not vote for or against the motion).

The Uddhav Thackeray government easily cleared a floor test in Maharashtra after the Bharatiya Janata Party walked out of the house protesting against the manner in which proceedings were held in the state's assembly.

Former CM and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, speaking to media outside the assembly after leading the walk-out, said constitutional norms and rules were violated Saturday morning while conducting the floor test in the Maharashtra assembly.

In the end, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray easily won the floor test, getting the support of 169 MLAs (the halfway mark in the assembly is 145).

Meanwhile, the election for the speaker's post will be held on Sunday.
