Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray resigned today after the Supreme Court allowed a no-trust vote. The no-trust vote will be held tomorrow in the Maharashtra Assembly. But the court said that both parties will have two days to file a rejoinder, and the final result of no-trust vote will be dependent on the outcome of the writ petition.
