Davanagere: Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah on Wednesday questioned that how could Fadnavis take oath knowing he did not have the majority.

Addressing presspersons here Saiddaramaiah said, “What has happened in Maharashtra is a slap on the face of BJP.

“How could Fadnavis take oath knowing he did not have the majority? It was a violation of the constitution. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was equally involved in this insult to democracy, he was also hand in glove,” he said.

Ajit Pawar resigned as deputy chief minister on Tuesday afternoon, hours after the Supreme Court ordered the BJP to take a floor test to prove it has the numbers along with Ajit Pawar’s NCP faction. Left without any option, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also resigned soon after, barely 80 hours after he took oath in a rather covert operation early Saturday morning.
