Stormy start to Maha special Assembly session
30-November-2019
Amid a ruckus by opposition Bharatiya Janata Party members, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray introduced himself and his six-member cabinet to the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, here on Saturday afternoon.
BJP members, led by former CM Devendra Fadnavis, argued that the two-day special session was in violation of norms.
However, the pro tem Speaker Dilip Walse-Patil rejected the contentions saying the special session was as per the directives of Governor B.S. Koshyari.
The special session will see a floor test for the Maha Vikas Aghadi government led by Thackeray, and later there will be an election for the post of the Speaker.
