The BJP on Tuesday said the floor test in Maharashtra Assembly on Wednesday will establish the position of different parties in its entirety.

The party's national spokesperson Nalin Kohli also rejected the contention that the Supreme Court order on the floor test on Wednesday is a 'setback' to the BJP, asserting that 'no judicial pronouncement on issues of the Constitution can be a setback to any political party'.

Judicial orders only strengthen the Constitution, he added.

'Is not an irony and political hypocrisy when on the one hand political parties speak about constitutional values and on the other hand express an intention to boycott Parliament on the occasion of Constitution Day,' he said, attacking the Congress and other BJP rivals for boycotting the joint sitting of Parliament which is being held to mark 70 years of the adoption of the Constitution.

The BJP said it respects the verdict and expressed confidence that it will prove majority on the floor of the House.

Maharashtra BJP unit chief Chandrakant Patil exuded confidence that his party will be able to prove majority on the floor of the House.

'We respect the court order. We are ready to prove majority and we will show it,' Patil said.

The BJP will hold a meeting of its senior leaders on Tuesday to work out a strategy ahead of the floor test, he said.

Kohli said the Supreme Court has to be complied with and said it was in line with the Bommai judgment that a floor test was the only conclusive test to prove majority in the House.

He also said that once the floor test is conducted, it will 'establish the complete position' in its entirety.

To a question if the order was a setback to the BJP, he said, 'No judicial pronouncement on issues of the constitution can be a setback to any political party because such pronouncements ensure strengthening of constitutional provisions and add to the further evolution of democracy.'

The Supreme Court directed that the floor test for chief minister Devendra Fadnavis to prove his majority in the Maharashtra Assembly be conducted on Wednesday.

It directed governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari to ensure that all elected members of the House are sworn in on Wednesday itself.

The apex court also said that the entire proceedings have to be telecast live. Voting in the Assembly shall not be on the basis of secret ballot, it said.

Fadnavis was sworn in as chief minister and NCP's Ajit Pawar as his deputy by the governor at a hush-hush ceremony in Raj Bhavan early Saturday morning.

In the 288-member House, the BJP will have to prove support of 145 MLAs to remain in power.

The BJP and the Sena, which fought the last month's Assembly polls in an alliance, secured a comfortable majority by winning 105 and 56 seats, respectively.

The Sena, however, broke its three-decade-long ties with the BJP after the latter reportedly declined to share the chief minister's post.

The NCP and Congress won 54 and 44 seats, respectively.
