On Wednesday, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray announced his resignation. After the Supreme Court declined to delay the floor test that Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari had set in the state assembly for tomorrow, Uddhav Thackeray made his decision public via a video address. Thackeray announced his resignation from the Maharashtra Legislative Council as well. Thackeray thanked his allies, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Congress, in an address to the people. When announcing his retirement from the top position, Uddhav Thackeray said, "Bad luck has struck our government." He claims that the current political turmoil in Maharashtra is the result of his own party members betraying him.
