New Delhi:
The newly-appointed Chief Minister of Maharashtra Uddhav Thackeray will have to prove his majority in the state assembly today as the alliance government in Maharashtra faces a trust vote. The floor test comes after a week of rapid developments that began with a surprise oath by the BJP's Devendra Fadnavis and his eventual resignation 80 hours later.
Mr Thackeray, 59, heads an alliance of the Shiv Sena, Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Congress, also called Maha Vikas Aghadi.
The pro-tem or temporary Speaker for the special two-day session of the Maharashtra assembly will be Dilip Walse Patil of the NCP.
