Maharashtra: Why did BJP MLAs walkout of Assembly amid floor test?

Maharashtra assembly's special session on Saturday witnessed uproar by the opposition as former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and other Opposition MLAs staged a walkout of Maharashtra Assembly in protest, ahead of the floor test. They raised questions over the session and said that it was in violation of rules. After walking out of the assembly, Fadnavis said, "This session is unconstitutional and illegal. Appointment of Pro-tem Speaker was also unconstitutional".

For today's session, Congress's Ashok Chavan proposed trust vote and NCP's Nawab Malik and Shiv Sena's Sunil Prabhu seconded it. However, Opposition continued to raise slogans while Protem speaker requests all MLAs to remain seated for headcount vote. Later, the trust vote continued after the opposition members walked out of the house.
