June 30 big day for Maharashtra: Uddhav Thackeray faces floor test at 11 am tomorrow, Eknath Shinde and other rebel MLAs to return to Mumbai
Rebel leader Eknath Shinde has claimed that he has the support of around 50 MLAs and 40 of them are from the Shiv Sena.

June 30 will be a big day for Maharashtra as Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray will face a floor test tomorrow at 11 am. Recently, Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari has written to assembly secretary Rajendra Bhagwat and called for a special session at 11 am for Thackeray to prove his majority.
The rebel leader Eknath Shinde and other rebel MLAs will return from Guwahati to Mumbai to participate in the floor test.
The reports suggest that Eknath Shinde and some other Shiv Sena MLAs, who are staying at a five-star hotel in Assam went to a temple in Guwahati this morning where they told the reporters that they are returning to Mumbai tomorrow.
The Governor said in the letter that the leader of the opposition personally visited him. He was briefing about the political situation in the state and thereafter the leader of the opposition submitted a letter stating that Chief Minister has lost the majority in Vidhan Sabha.
Governor also said that the test of the majority will be telecast live and the proceedings will be recorded on camera by the Vidhan Sabha Secretariat through an independent agency.
Governor Koshyari also said that in order to ensure free and fair voting it shall be conducted by asking members to rise in their seats for the purpose of counting votes.
Eknath Shinde has claimed that he has the support of around 50 MLAs and 40 of them are from the Shiv Sena.
In the 287-member assembly, the majority mark stands at 144 and the ruling alliance of Shiv Sena, Congress and Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Pary has a total of 152 MLAs. If there are 40 MLAs missing from this data then the state government is likely to shrink to the minority without the support of 40 rebel MLAs.

Wishing the country on the occasion of India’s 76th Independence Day, Gandhi said over the last 75 years, highly talented Indians have led the country on the path of progress in the fields of science, education, health, and information.

The young RJD leader had earlier said that his jobs promise had the nod from Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. This massive announcement made by the Bihar CM is the real issue that the media should focus on. The two parties will work together to make it happen, he also said.
Yadav had earlier posted a clip of him answering the question with a shot at the BJP. It is a success that instead of Hindu-Muslim topics, the media is asking the leaders about employment. The people who were sleeping and never asked about jobs, that media is also awake now. Isn’t this a success? he had said.
