Congress spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill, took to Twitter on Sunday morning and listed down his expectations from the Supreme Court before it hears the writ petition filed by Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress.

He also urged the apex court to declare Devendra Fadnavis’s oath as null and void.

Writ petition by Congress, Shiv Sena & NCP 

On Saturday, the Shiv Sena, Congress, and NCP filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court and demanded to quash the Maharashtra Governor’s decision to invite Devendra Fadnavis for government formation in the state. Moreover, the parties contended that they should have been invited to form the government owing to their constituting a majority in the Assembly. However, there is unlikely to be an urgent hearing in this matter. This development comes after Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar took oath as the Chief Minister and the Deputy Chief Minister respectively.

After taking an oath, Fadnavis said, "I wish to thank PM Modi and Amit Shah Ji for giving me the opportunity to serve the state. When Shiv Sena started making efforts to make an alliance outside, it ended up in President's rule. It is not good for a state like Maharashtra to be under President's rule for so long. Hence, I wish to thank NCP's Ajit Pawar for taking the decision to provide a stable government in the state."
