<p>The Eknath Shinde-led government in Maharashtra won the floor test on Monday by a 164-99 margin.</p>
<p>In the 288-member house, 164 MLAs voted for the motion of confidence and 99 voted against it.</p>
<p>Speaker Rahul Narwekar announced that the trust vote has been carried by a majority vote. A total of three members abstained from voting.</p>
<p>The trust vote comes a day after BJP`s Rahul Narwekar was elected the Assembly Speaker. On Sunday Narwekar reinstated Shinde as the Shiv Sena`s legislative party leader and also recognised the appointment of Bharat Gogawale as the chief whip of the Shiv Sena.</p>
<p>The floor test on Monday was held during the special two-day session of the Legislative Assembly that began on Sunday.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, two MLAs of the Uddhav Thackeray faction, Santosh Bangar and Shyamsundar Shinde, joined the Eknath Shinde camp just before the trust vote.</p>
<p>Eknath Shinde took oath as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra on June 30.</p>
<p>After the death of a Shiv Sena MLA recently, the current strength of the Assembly is reduced to 287, thus the majority mark is 144. Shinde was sworn in as CM on June 30, a day after Uddhav Thackeray quit the post. BJP`s Devendra Fadnavis was sworn in as the deputy CM.</p>
