Later in the afternoon, Shinde visited the temple again in the company of MLAs.

Rebel Independent MLA Rajendra Raut said that there is no problem if the BJP comes to power in Maharashtra. "I'm with BJP since the beginning. Devendra Fadnavis took a stand for me in the state Assembly...MLAs will get upset if work will not happen in their constituencies. Yes, there is no problem in that (of BJP coming to power in the state)," Raut said.

Taking a jibe at CM Thackeray, rebel MLA Gulabrao Patil said that the Shiv Sena chief is not ready to leave Sharad Pawar, though he has left Varsha Bungalow, the official bunglow of the Maharashtra chief minister. "He left the Varsha Bungalow, he left his MLAs, but he is not ready to leave Sharad Pawar," Patil said.

Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari has asked the Uddhav Thackeray government in the state to prove his majority on the floor of the House on June 30 citing the "present political scenario" unfolding in the state paints a "very disturbing picture."

The Governor has written to the state Assembly secretary to convene a special session of the State Assembly tomorrow with the only agenda of a trust vote against CM Thackeray.

According to the notification, the session will commence at 11 am which will also be telecast live.

However, the Supreme Court today agreed to hear at 5 pm a plea filed by Shiv Sena chief whip Sunil Prabhu challenging Governor Koshyari's direction to CM Uddhav Thackeray to prove his majority support on the floor of the House.

Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi mentioned Prabhu's petition seeking an urgent hearing of the case today evening before a vacation bench of Justice Surya Kant and JB Pardiwala, saying the "floor test is illegal".

Meanwhile, with just a day to go for the all-important Floor Test, former Maharashtra Chief Minister and leader of opposition Devendra Fadnavis has called a meeting of BJP leaders at his residence in Mumbai this afternoon. (ANI)
