The plea said a floor test is constitutionally imperative because the Nath government in the state has been reduced to a minority on account of lack of confidence and the resignation of 22
Congress MLAs. It also referred to the recent Maharashtra political crisis in which the top court had ordered the floor test within 24 hours. On Saturday night, the Madhya Pradesh governor
wrote to Nath asking him to seek a trust vote in the Assembly soon after the governor's address on Monday, saying his government was in a minority. After the Speaker accepted the
resignation of six Congress MLAs on Saturday, the party now has 108 legislators. These include 16 rebel legislators who have also put in their papers but their resignations are yet to be
accepted. The BJP has 107 seats in the House, which now has an effective strength of 222, with the majority mark being 112.
