Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar has been a target of opposition parties in the state after his verdicts went against Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar in the cases related to the split of Shiv Sana and NCP.
The petitions from the Sharad Pawar faction urged the Supreme Court to intervene and instruct the speaker to make a prompt decision on the disqualification pleas against the Ajit Pawar faction under anti-defection law.
During the session, Samajwadi Party (SP) abstained from voting against the BJP candidate. Both its MLAs Abu Azmi and Raees Shaikh kept sitting during the head count.
