MAHARASTHRA MA BJP E BANAVI SARKAR :SEE NEWS.
Maharashtra government formation LIVE Updates: Senior BJP leader Sudhir Mungantiwar has claimed that Ajit Pawar gave letter of support on behalf of all 54 NCP MLAs. He said that the party does not need separate letter from each legislator. "Letter from Leader of Legislative Party is considered the letter of the party," he told News18. Meanwhile, Sharad Pawar's daughter Supriya Sule has said that there is "split in the party and family".
The source said that the Congress leaders spoke to grand old party's interim president Sonia Gandhi over the logjam on Friday. A clearer picture is expected to emerge today. Another source said that Congress is looking at a Dalit face for the post of deputy CM. But Sharad Pawar-led party is likely to select a Maratha for the post. The portfolio of education is expected to be held by Thackeray's MLA-son Aaditya, the source added.
Emerging from a marathon meeting of top leaders of the Congress, the NCP and the Sena, who are making efforts to form government in Maharashtra, Pawar on Friday said there was a consensus on Thackeray's leadership. "There is a consensus that leadership of the government will be with Uddhav Thackeray," he told reporters after the meeting. He said the meeting at Nehru Centre in central Mumbai deliberated extensively on finalising an agenda for governance.
Meanwhile, a fresh PIL was filed in the Supreme Court on Friday seeking to restrain the Maharashtra Governor from inviting political parties Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress to form the government "against the people's mandate" and to declare such formation as "unconstitutional".
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar seems to be equally miffed with his nephew Ajit's decision to join hands with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). "I came to know at 7 am today about Ajit Pawar. I did not know before that. I will hold a press conference in some time. Uddhav too will address the media. I will speak elaborately then," the NCP chief said, clarifying that it was not his decision.
