Did uddhav thackeray resign

Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday said "If the current Maharashtra CM and deputy CM have any ethics, then they should resign. They (now Shinde faction MLAs) betrayed my party and the legacy of my father. My resignation as the CM then may have been wrong legally, but I did it on moral grounds," Thackeray said. Thackeray made the remarks with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his deputy Tejashwi Yadav by his side. READ | Thackeray said the then Maharashtra Governor had no right to call an Assembly session for a floor test. "The Supreme Court said that if I had not resigned, I might have become the Chief Minister again. I am not fighting for myself, my fight is for the people, for the country," Thackeray said. In an indirect swipe at BJP, Thackeray said those who enslave the country will be soon set to jail. "We are fighting to save the Constitution. It is our job to protect democracy in this country," he further said. In a big relief for the Shinde-BJP government, the Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that Uddhav Thackeray could not be restored as Chief Minister as he resigned before the floor test. "Status quo ante cannot be restored as Thackeray did not face the floor test and tendered his resignation. Hence, the Governor was justified in administering oath to Shinde with the support of the largest party BJP," the court said. However, the top court said the Governor "erred in relying on the resolution of a faction of MLAs of Shiv S...

Did Uddhav Thackeray show his political inexperience by resigning as the chief minister of Maharashtra on June 29, 2022, after being in the chair for two-and-a-half years? The man catapulted to the CM’s chair for the first time as a result of an unlikely alliance may have missed a trick, with the Supreme Court now saying it could have reinstated him had he not resigned. Uddav Thackeray has said he resigned out of “morality” but the fact remains that the same was prompted by the Supreme Court earlier that day refusing to stay the trust vote in the state assembly. The trust vote subsequently never happened. The resignation has also led to the SC ruling that the Governor’s decision to invite and swear-in Eknath Shinde as the next CM was “justified”. Many also say the resignation was a unilateral decision by Uddhav Thackeray without consulting his Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) partners like Sharad Pawar and the Congress, but only his closest aides. Had he participated in the trust vote and lost as all anticipated that he would, Uddhav Thackeray would not only have had the chance to play ‘martyr’ then but also would have been back as the chief minister on Thursday after the apex court judgement. “The status quo ante cannot be restored because Mr Thackeray did not face the floor test and tendered his resignation,” the Supreme Court judgment said. Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis took potshots at Uddhav Thackeray, saying the latter had not resigned out of morality but out of “em...

The chief minister of Maharashtra, Uddhav Thackeray, resigned from his post last night while addressing through a Facebook live. Now, as he leaves, the floor test, which was scheduled by the governor of Maharashtra, has also been called off as now, there is no need to check the majority in the party because the chief minister of the current government Maha Vikas Aghadi has resigned. The great ally in Maharashtra, including Shivsena, Congress, and NCP, has now fallen down after the massive political drama of almost 2 weeks. The rebel MLAs, who are staying in Guwahati, were asked to appear for the floor test, can now stay back as the floor test has called off.

Two and a half years after he unexpectedly came to power by joining hands with the In an address to the state shortly after 9.30 pm, Thackeray said he did not want to remain in power as chief minister any more as he didn't want to get into the "numbers game".

Thackeray said that he feared violence when the Shiv Sena rebels would have entered Mumbai for the now infructuous trust vote, adding that he didn't want the blood of Shiv Sena workers to be shed on the streets of Mumbai on Thursday. "They are bringing in the central forces; they might bring the army from the borders. I'm actually ashamed, why are you (Sena rebels) doing this. Have you forgotten your humanity? Tomorrow I am asking the Shiv Sena workers not to interfere, let them celebrate bringing down the government of the son of Shiv Sena supremo Balasaheb Thackeray." The emotional address was meant for the Shiv Sena cadre as Uddhav reiterated that the rebels have committed the 'sin' of bringing down a government that was headed by Balasaheb Thackeray's son. "They (Sena rebels) can join hands with (BJP) to form a government tomorrow. Le...

Addressing a rally at Nanded as a part of the BJP's outreach campaign to mark the completion of nine years of the Narendra Modi government, Shah said the BJP didn't bring down the Thackeray-led MVA government last year. He said Shiv Sainiks who were tired of Thackeray's policies and were not ready to go with the NCP headed by Sharad Pawar. He said in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, people have to decide who will become the prime minister of the country — Narendra Modi or Congress' Rahul Gandhi. "I as (then) BJP president and (the then chief minister) Devendra Fadnavis had carried out negotiations in which Thackeray agreed that if the NDA gets majority, Fadnavis will be the chief minister (again) of Maharashtra. However, after the results (in 2019), Thackeray broke the promise and sat in the Congress-NCP's lap," Shah added. The Shiv Sena (undivided) and the BJP contested the 2019 Assembly polls together, but the former walked out of the alliance over the post of chief minister. “The act of cheating and betrayal was done by Uddhav Thackeray. The elections were contested in the name of Modi ji and Devendra ji and he sat in the lap of Congress to become chief minister,” Shah said. Leaders of the Shiv Sena (UBT) routinely dub lawmakers who owe allegiance to Chief minister Shinde, whose rebellion in June last year split the party founded by late Bal Thackeray, as traitors who betrayed the Thackerays and party. Shah said the Shiv Sena, which is now headed by Chief Minister Eknath Shind...
