Explained: how Eknath Shinde camp plans to push for floor test

As the Eknath Shinde camp got relief from the Supreme Court, which halted thier disqualification, all eyes are on their next move.

The Indian Express has reported that the rebel Shiv Sena leader may knock at the door of Maharashtra governor informing him of their decision to withdraw support from the Maha Vikas Aghadi governmet, and thereby, prompting a floor test.

The newspaper quoted higly placed sources, saying the Shinde faction is likely to approach Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari at Raj Bhawan.

Claiming to have 50 plus MLAs in its fold, Shinde camp’s decision to step out of Aghadi govt would raise a question on the numbers with Uddhav Thackeray led government, which could find it difficult to prove its majority on the floor of the house if the rebel MLAs were to stick together.
