Maharashtra CM Uddhav submits resignation to governor after SC refuses to stay floor test

Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday resigned ahead of floor test tomorrow. The Supreme Court rejected Uddhav government's plea and refused to stay the floor test in the Maharashtra assembly tomorrow. A vacation bench of Justices Surya Kant and J B Pardiwala heard arguments on behalf of Shiv Sena, its rebel MLAs led by Eknath Shinde, and the Governor on the plea in the hearing conducted after 5 pm through hybrid mode.

A question that will arise in the floor test is who will be the group leader of the Shiv Sena? The one appointed by the speaker or the one that the rebels want? Without a decision on this, how can the floor test be held
