Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday (June 29) announced his resignation as the chief minister of Maharashtra.
This came shortly after the Supreme Court ordered the Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government to take a floor test to prove its majority in the Assembly.
“I am resigning as the chief minister,” Thackeray said, adding that he also quitting his membership of the legislative council.
“I want to express my gratitude to the people of NCP and Congress that they supported me. From Shiv Sena, Anil Parab, Subhash Desai and Aaditya Thackeray, these people were only present when the proposal was passed while NCP and Congress people also supported the proposal,” Uddhav Thackeray said in a live Facebook address.
