NEW DELHI : In what has the potential to end nearly a month long political uncertainty in Maharashtra, Governor Bhagat Singh Koshiyari on Thursday put the onus of legislative council elections for nine seats in the state on Election Commission (EC) requesting it should be ‘declared at the earliest’.
The move, if accepted, could pave way for getting the appointment of chief minister Uddhav Thackeray as an MLC getting accepted.
The situation was necessitated as Thackeray completes six months in office on 28 May and is yet to become a legislator. Election Commission (EC) is scheduled to hold a meeting on Friday in which this issue is going to be taken up, according to people aware of developments.
