The Supreme Court’s decision overruling the Maharashtra Assembly’s suspension last year of 12 BJP MLAs was a “tight slap on the face” of the ruling tripartite Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, former Chief Minister and BJP Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis said on Friday.
Mr. Fadnavis stated that the Uddhav Thackeray-led government (of the Shiv Sena, the Nationalist Congress Party and the Congress) often acted as though they were above the Constitution. He accused the MVA of ‘conspiring’ to suspend the MLAs as they had been fighting for the rights of the OBC community.
