The newly sworn-in Chief Minister of Goa Pramod Sawant had to prove his state government’s majority on Wednesday (20 March) and he passed it with flying colours.
During this floor test, 20 Goa MLAs voted in his favour which ensured his government’s survival.
Ahead of the floor test the Congress party had tried various desperate tactics which included rushing to stake claim for government formation just hours after Manohar Parrikar’s death.
The earlier BJP led coalition government comprised of 12 BJP MLAs, three each from the Goa Forward and MGP, and two independent MLAs.
Goa Governor Mridula Sinha administered the oath of office and secrecy to the new Chief Minister of Goa around 1.50 am on Tuesday (19 March).
Before taking oath as the CM, Sawant resigned from the post of Speaker of Goa Legislative Assembly.
