Governor also kept in dark on how many MLA's with BJP

It is very apparent now that Devendra Fadnavis chose the easiest but most vague option to prove majority of his govt on the floor of the house through voice vote, but what is more startling is that the BJP did not even find it fit to enclose its list of own MLA's as well as other MLA's supporting the govt in its letter handed over to the Governor, seeking his invitation to form the Govt, this has now been revealed through a reply by the Governor's Secretariat to a query filed by RTI Activist Anil Galgali.

RTI Activist Anil Galgali had filed a query with the Governor's secretariat, seeking information about how much strength of MLA's  had Devendra Fadnavis claimed in his letter handed over to the Governor, seeking his invitation to form the Govt. He also sought a copy of the letter. In the reply to the query, Smt Ujjwala Dandekar, Under Secretary (Administration) & Public Information Officer to the Governor Secretariat stated that on 28/10/2014 at 6.40 pm, the letter signed by Devendra Fadnavis, Eknatrao Khadse-Patil, Vinod Tawde, Sudhir Mungantiwar, & Pankaja Munde - Palwe, the member's of the BJP Core Committee was received by the Governor, a copy of which was provided to Galgali. In the letter addressed to the Governor Shri C Vidyasagar Rao it was informed that the "BJP being the single largest party we request your honour to give us the opportunity to form the Governament".

Without disclosing its strength,neither providing any list of supporting MLA's, the Devendra Fadnavis govt proved it majority on the floor of the house by a voice vote only displays the smartness of this Govt, But the people of Maharashtra are still unclear about the actual strength of this govt, stated Galgali. Galgali further appealed that it is the moral duty of Devendra Fadnavis to release the list of MLA's in their support, so the ordinary public can understand exactly how much support does this Govt enjoy in the legislature.
