The current effective strength of the Maharashtra Assembly is 228 with two seats vacant. Now, since 22 MLAs have resigned, the strength of the house will be 206 and the magic number required to prove majority will be 104.

The Kamal Nath government is supported by two legislators of the Bahujan Samaj Party, one of the Samajwadi Party and four Independents. The BJP has 107 MLAs.

Assuming that these legislators continue to support the Kamal Nath government in the changing political scenario, the tally of the Congress and its allies will be maximum 100 MLAs, still four short of the halfway mark.
