Eknath Shinde Faces Test To Prove Majority Today | Read
Maharashtra's four-day-old Eknath Shinde government -- formed with the aid of the BJP after two weeks of deep political crisis -- will have to prove its majority in the assembly today. The test, though, is expected to be a formality. The test of strength comes a day after BJP's Rahul Narwekar was elected Speaker -- a significant move in view of the Shiv Sena's pending appeal to disqualify 16 rebel MLAs, including the new Chief Minister.
