Terming the swearing in of Devendra Fadnavis as Maharashtra chief minister as "murder of democracy", AICC general secretary K C Venugopal on Saturday said the BJP will have to pay a "heavy price for it."
The Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress combine on Saturday night filed a petition in the apex court seeking quashing of the Maharashtra governor's decision to swear-in Fadnavis as chief minister and demanded an immediate floor test to avoid "further horse trading."
Venugopal said all 44 Congress MLAs in Maharashtra were "intact."
