MUMBAI: A unique scenario is emerging for the first time in Maharashtra after the last 51 years as the number of MLAs from various parties backing the state government has prima facie reached 200, post the induction of NCP leader Ajit Pawar in the state cabinet.
The last time when more than 200 MLAs were part of the state government was in 1972, but at that time all the 222 legislators belonged to Congress. Also, the strength of the House was 270 at that time, a former state legislature official said on Monday citing data.
