Mumbai: After waiting in the wings in the over week-long political drama sparked off by Shiv Sena minister Eknath Shinde’s rebellion, BJP on Tuesday swung into action, with party leader Devendra Fadnavis meeting Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari at Raj Bhavan in the night.
Fadnavis, who met top BJP leaders in Delhi earlier in the day, reached Raj Bhavan around 10 pm and met Koshyari.

It shows that the MVA government has lost the majority. We’ve requested the governor to direct the chief minister to immediately prove his majority through the floor test,” he said speaking to reports after the meeting.
