Mumbai: Leaders from Shiv Sena, Congress, Nationalist Congress Party met Maharashtra governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari with a list of MLAs supporting their alliance on Monday just hours before the Supreme Court hearing.

The SC is likely to take a call on a floor test in Maharashtra.

The SC on Sunday asked the Centre to produce two letters by Monday--- one from the Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to prove majority and another from the Governor inviting him to form the government.

Early on Saturday morning, in a major political twist, BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis took oath as Chief Minister of Maharashtra and Ajit Pawar as his deputy. The move came just hours after NCP-Shiv Sena-Congress had sealed a deal to form the government in the state.

The NCP won 54 MLAs in the 288-member Maharashtra assembly, finishing third after the BJP (105) and Shiv Sena (56).
