Mumbai, May 11 (). The Nationalist Congress Party on Thursday said that Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s government may have survived after the Supreme Court’s verdict, but it has lost credibility and moral right to continue in power.
State NCP President Jayant Patil said that the Supreme Court has clearly shown how all the decisions taken by the then Governor (Bhagat Singh Koshyari) turned out to be wrong.
He said that though it is not proper to comment on the actions of the Governor, former Governor Koshyari was engaged in the same thing for 24 hours from the very first day in November 2019 when the Congress-NCP-Shiv Sena’s Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) came to power.
Patil said, since the Governor’s decisions are wrong, Shinde Shiv Sena whip Bharat Gogawale has also been invalidated, then all the decisions taken by him in the Legislature will also be invalidated.
The NCP leader said that in these circumstances the Speaker (Rahul Narvekar) would need to act within the constitutional framework on various points and without delay while deciding on the disqualification of 16 MLAs including CM Shinde.
The survival of the Shinde government, he said, could be only a brief joy for those who rallied around him for power. But this is illegal and unconstitutional, and the BJP’s actions in Maharashtra have come to naught. The Supreme Court has told the people of the state how this whole episode (toppling of the MVA) went awry.
Referring to the point that if former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray had not resigned, the MVA could have got a chance to be reinstated by the court, Patil said this proved what the SC had in mind, and that the governor had not allowed the MVA to be reinstated. Played an important role in toppling the government.
Patil said that after the Supreme Court’s verdict, the BJP is completely divided and the people of the state are firmly with the MVA.
