A three day special session of Maharashtra assembly begins today which seems to be critical for the newly formed Devendra Fadnavis Government as it is going to seek trust vote and its estranged ally Shiv Sena has again created a deadlock about the support.

Now BJP has a difficult task to prove the majority in the house and they will have to decide about their partner in the Maharashtra Government today. A three-day special session of Maharashtra Assembly begins today (Monday), during which Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will seek a trust vote.

State Governor C Vidyasagar Rao will administer oath to Jeeva Pandu Gavit as pro-tem Speaker of the Assembly in Raj Bhavan at 10 am. Assembly proceedings will start at 11 AM and the first two days will see the members of the 13th Assembly take oath.

On November 12, the Speaker will be elected after which Fadnavis will move a trust vote. The session will conclude with the Governor's address to legislators. Amid reports of Shiv Sena's demand for some ministerial berths, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had earlier said no minister will be sworn-in before the trust vote in the state Assembly.

But Shiv-Sena has again created a deadlock regarding the support as the Shiv Sena party chief Uddhav Thackeray did not let its nominee Anil Desai take oath as Union Minister.

Thackeray had also served an ultimatum to BJP to come clear on the issue of taking NCP support for the survival of its minority government in Maharashtra within two days, failing which it will sit in the opposition. BJP has 121 MLAs in the 288-member House and the 41-member NCP has assured its outside support, sans any condition, to the new government. NCP will be announcing their stance in a press conference today.
