The newly formed Eknath Shinde government in Maharashtra will have to prove its majority in the state assembly on Monday. A special session of the Maharashtra Assembly will be held on July 3 and 4. After taking oath yesterday, Mr Shinde moved to reverse the Uddhav Thackeray government's stand on the controversial Metro car shed project in Mumbai.
Mr Shinde, it is learnt, has directed Advocate General Ashutosh Kumbhakoni to submit in court that the Metro car shed will be built at Aarey Colony as planned in 2019 under the Devendra Fadnavis government.
Meanwhile, former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has asked the Supreme Court to restrict Shiv Sena MLAs from participating in assembly proceedings.
