| Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis' minority BJP government has won a confidence motion in the Maharashtra Assembly through a voice vote, amid much drama and controversy.
The Congress and the Shiv Sena - which will now be the main opposition party in Maharashtra with its Eknath Shinde elected Leader of Opposition - have protested against the Speaker, Haribhau Bagde's decision not to hold a division vote, in which legislators press buttons on a voting machine to record their votes, which are then counted.

In rare consonance, the two parties have demanded a fresh trust vote. They contend that the BJP did not have the numbers to prove its majority through a division vote and have said they will approach the governor.
As Governor C Vidyasagar Rao made his way into the assembly this evening to make an address, Congress and Sena MLAs blocked his way, making it difficult for him to walk up the stairs.
This morning, the floor test was brought swiftly forward ahead of schedule and the motion was moved and passed by voice vote. The Shiv Sena's legislators shouted the loudest nays and trooped into the well or centre, demanding division.
"The motion has been passed," Speaker Haribhau Bagade announced in the din and moved on to the next agenda. He later said outside the House, "I have followed procedure."
