While an MLA from the Uddhav faction switched sides and, several other members of SP, Congress, and AIMIM abstained from the trust vote. Among those who were ‘missing in action’ include Ashok Chavan, former Maharashtra CM. Chavan was not part of the trust vote and reached the Assembly only after the Shinde govt proved its majority on the floor of the house.
