The Opposition in Maharashtra Legislative Assembly today withdrew its no-confidence motion against Speaker Dilip Walse-Patil.
BJP legislator Devendra Phadanvis told the House that after discussions with Leader of Opposition Eknath Khadse and group leaders, it has been decided against pressing for the one line motion - "Speaker of the Legislative Assembly be removed from his post" - to be taken up.
Enraged with the Speaker's decision not to allow time for debate in the House during the winter session last December, the Opposition members had moved a no-confidence motion against the Chair.
The motion, listed in the day's business, was moved by Khadse and supported by 38 other members.
