Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray has resigned from the post of Chief Minister of the Indian state of Maharashtra.

Shortly after the Supreme Court's order on the majority test, Uddhav Thackeray came live on social media and said that he does not want the blood of Shiv Sainiks to shed. That's why he is leaving the post of Chief Minister of Maharashtra. Uddhav Thackeray said that he has no pain to leave the post.

Uddhav Thackeray said that he is also giving up the membership of the Legislative Council.

After this he reached Raj Bhavan to resign Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari.

Earlier on Wednesday, June 29, 2022, at around 9 pm, the Supreme Court refused to stay the majority test.

The Governor of Maharashtra had called for the floor test on Thursday, 30 June 2022 at 11 am.

Uddhav Thackeray also targeted the rebel MLAs of Shiv Sena.

Uddhav Thackeray began his address by thanking the Congress and NCP, the members of the Mahavikas Aghadi alliance. He counted the achievements of the government in the tenure of two and a half years.

What did Uddhav Thackeray say in his address?

- I'm leaving the chair. Last Wednesday itself, I had left 'Varsha' (Maharashtra Chief Minister's residence) and came to 'Matoshree' (Bal Thackeray's residence). I don't feel sorry for leaving the chief minister's post.

- When something good is happening, it is visible

- The people whom Balasaheb Thackeray made big, the common people whom Balasaheb Thackeray and Shiv Sena made big, they have forgotten them today.

- Whatever the Supreme Court has given today, we respect it and will abide by it.

- If the rebel MLAs had any complaint, then instead of Surat or Guwahati, they should have come to Matoshree and expressed their views.

- No one can snatch Shiv Sena from us.

- Shiv Sainiks are requested not to hold any demonstration against the rebel MLAs.

What did the Supreme Court say in its decision?

On Wednesday, June 29, 2022, the Supreme Court of India, while ruling on the ongoing political struggle in Maharashtra, has said that the floor test in the assembly will not be stopped.

A vacation bench of Supreme Court Justices Surya Kant and JB Pardiwala gave this decision after hearing a petition filed by Shiv Sena leader Sunil Prabhu.

Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari had called a special session of the Legislative Assembly at 11 am on 30 June 2022 by issuing an order on Wednesday, 29 June 2022.

Its purpose was a floor test of the Uddhav Thackeray government.

Shiv Sena leader Suresh Prabhu had filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging this decision of the Governor.

Suresh Prabhu, in his petition, had said that the governor's decision to conduct floor test was illegal as he did not take into account that the deputy speaker had issued disqualification notices to 16 out of 39 MLAs.

Suresh Prabhu has also said that none of the 39 MLAs have withdrawn their support to the Maha Vikas Aghadi government.
