Uddhav Thackeray resigns as Maharashtra Chief Minister ahead of floor test

Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday announced that he is resigning as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra amid political crisis in the state. This comes after the Supreme Court rejected Shiv Sena's plea to stay the floor test ordered by state Governor BS Koshiyari, asking the Uddhav Thackeray-led government to prove the majority in the Assembly on Thursday.
