"People taunt that it's an ED government. Yes, it's an ED government, of Eknath-Devendra," — Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis employed some wordplay in the assembly today, using Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's name and his own, to counter the charge that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) was misused to effect the change in government.

As per news report ofNDTV, opposition MLAs earlier shouted "ED, ED" when rebels from Uddhav Thackeray's Sena supported Eknath Shinde during the trust vote, which he won 164-99, increasing the winning margin from the Speaker's election held yesterday. Some of these MLAs or their families are facing investigations by the ED, an agency under the BJP-led central government.Ever since the Shinde camp's mutiny began — eventually leading to Uddhav Thackeray's resignation as chief minister last Wednesday — Team Thackeray has been saying the ED was misused to pressure the party's MLAs into a BJP-backed rebellion.
