Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, whose 13-day-old BJP government survived a controversial trust vote in the Legislative Assembly in voice vote, has dismissed allegation of "foul play" by opposition Shiv Sena and Congress, saying all rules and procedures were adhered to in the passage of the motion.

Fadnavis also dared the opposition to move a no confidence motion against his government, saying he has majority.
"Congress and Shiv Sena did not ask for a poll (division of votes) at the appropriate time. Since Congress has always been in power it has forgotten the rules about when to ask for division of votes," Fadnavis told reporters here tonight.
