The Fadnavis-Pawar Jr combine has to prove its majority in a floor test, and even late on Sunday it was not clear that it had the numbers. The BJP has 105 members in the 288-member assembly. The NCP has 54, but only five are believed to be with Pawar Jr. The Shiv Sena has 56 and the Congress, 44. And other parties and independents have 29.
People familiar with the matter said the BJP has the support of all members from the other parties, excluding those from the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, Communist Party Of India (Marxist) and the Samajwadi Party. It isn’t clear where the other numbers will come from, unless some members of the Sena or Congress resign, bringing down the total strength of the House.
It is also unclear when the floor test is going to be held. While the BJP and the NCP said the date for the trust vote was November 30, there was no confirmation from Raj Bhavan.
