'MLAs were in 'happy marriage' in MVA but one fine day...': SC pulls up Guv's role in Sena vs Sena fight

The Supreme Court on Wednesday observed that a floor test of a government cannot be called merely on the ground of differences between MLAs of a ruling party as it can topple an elected government. The top court added that the governor of a state cannot lend his office to effectuate a particular result. Making an observation, a 5-judge bench of the Supreme Court said, "It will be a sad spectacle for democracy," while taking forward the hearing on the events that unfolded during the June 2022 Maharashtra political crisis when over 35 MLAs of the Shiv Sena broke away from Uddhav Thackeray and supported Eknath Shinde camp, leading to the collapse of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government.
