Here are five points on how the numbers stack up
The total strength of Maharashtra Assembly is 288. With one legislator dead, the number is down to 287. This means the majority mark in the Assembly, in the event of a trust vote, is now 144.
The Maha Vikas Aghadi government of the Sena, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Congress currently has 152 legislators.
The Sena has 55 MLAs. 21 MLAs out of them and an Independent are learnt to be holed up in the Surat hotel. If these MLAs led by minister Eknath Shinde resign, the Sena's number comes down to 34.
This would bring down the Maha Vikas Aghadi's strength in the House to 131. With 22 MLAs resigning, the new majority mark in the House will be 133.
The BJP is now claiming support of 135 MLAs, more than the majority mark. But If these 21 Sena MLAs try to switch over, they will need to resign under the anti-defection law and get elected back in bypolls.
