The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to grant an urgent hearing on a plea against the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance of Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress in Maharashtra, calling it as committing ‘breach of trust of voters against the mandate in Maharashtra.’
The plea filed by a BJP activist called the alliance ‘unconstitutional’.
Meanwhile the oath-taking ceremony of the newly-elected MLAs started earlier in the day with Pro Tem Speaker Kalidas N Kolambkar administering their oaths inside the Vidhan Bhavan which was telecast live, in accordance with Supreme Court orders of Tuesday and is expected to be completed by this evening.
