BJP offered a bitter shock to Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena by forming the Government with the support of Ajit Pawar's NCP. President's Rule was lifted last night to allow Devendra Fadnavis to sworn-in as CM of Maharashtra once again. Ajit Pawar, on the other hand, sworn-in as the Deputy CM on Saturday.
Sharad Pawar who was holding talks with Shiv Sena and Congress to form the government in Maharashtra declared the latest development as a personal decision of Ajit Pawar and he doesn't have the support of NCP. He claims to have no clue what-so-ever about his nephew Ajit Pawar's talks with BJP leadership.
In 288-member Assembly, Support of 145 MLAs is required for any party to form the Government. BJP won 105 seats in the recent Assembly Polls. With the support of 22 NCP MLAs, The strength went up to 17. Which means, There is still requirement for 28 MLAs. BJP Leadership has begun horse trading to gain the support of as many MLAs as possible before the Trust Vote. Some of the Shiv Sena MLAs seems to be in touch with the Saffron Party.
Ajit Pawar holds the support of 22 out of 54 NCP MLAs. Remaining 33 MLAs are under the control of Sharad Pawar.
