CM Uddhav Thackeray won the trust vote with 169 MLAs on the Maha Vikas Aghadi's side, even as Opposition party, the BJP, disputed his and his ministers' oath. The BJP also alleged that the new government had violated the Constitution by calling the special session to prove majority and changing the pro tem Speaker.

The sitting on Saturday began on a stormy note with both sides raising slogans. When the Speaker was about to begin the proceedings, former CM Devendra Fadnavis rose to question the validity of the special session and the oaths. He said the calling of the sitting was a violation of the rules of the House because the last special session had concluded and for the new one, the Governor should have issued summons. He also said this particular session should have begun with the recital of Vande Mataram.
