The twelve MLAs of the BJP, who were suspended from the Maharashtra Assembly for one year earlier in the day for allegedly misbehaving with presiding officer Bhaskar Jadhav in the Speaker's chamber, met Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari seeking his intervention and complained against the MVA government for "trampling upon democracy".

The MLAs led by Ashish Shelar, chief whip of the BJP in the state legislature, submitted a memorandum denying "wrong" allegations of misbehavior with the presiding officer. The twelve MLAs were suspended for one year after the state government accused them of "misbehaving" with Jadhav in the Speaker's chamber.
