Maharashtra government threatens legal action if governor delays nomination of MLCs
The names got by the Maharashtra government within the first week of November, to be nominated as MLCs beneath the governor’s quota.
Pawar, who was in Nashik, mentioned the chief minister had despatched the names to the governor by following all of the related guidelines. “The state has sent the names of the 12 people after having it cleared from the cabinet. The governor has been explained the entire procedure,” mentioned Pawar.
“The governor will explain his position. (He won’t) let the (state) approach the courts,” he added.
The reference to courts was a thinly veiled risk by the deputy CM that the state could not wait any longer if the governor doesn’t take a call on the names. This comes barely every week after Pawar mentioned the governor mustn’t make the state wait endlessly and check out the state’s endurance.
Under the legislative council guidelines, 12 folks must be nominated to the higher home of the state legislature from the social, cultural, sports activities and different fields. The Maharashtra government, anticipating that the governor could refuse to just accept its listing, has had the names of the 12 folks vetted by the state’s legislation and judiciary division earlier than sending it for approval. It despatched the listing on November 6 and needed the governor to take a call in 15 days. However, the governor has but to convey any determination.
Even earlier than the government despatched the listing to the governor, NCP and Congress leaders had raised alleged claims by state BJP leaders that the governor wouldn’t settle for the names.
Actor-turned politician Urmila Matondkar is one of the names on the listing.
