Reportedly day after President's Rule was imposed in maharashtra the political impasse in the state continued with the congress PARTY' target='_blank' title='nationalist congress party-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>nationalist congress party (NCP) and the congress holding hectic parleys throughout the day to reach a consensus on a common minimum program (CMP). Furthermore apart from a single meeting with the congress, the shiv sena largely appeared to be waiting for a consensus to be reached between the congress and the NCP. Uddhav Thackeray said the talks for government formation were progressing in the "right direction" while state congress chief Balasaheb Thorat dubbed the meeting as "a courtesy call."
When responding to Congress’ allegations that President’s Rule in the state had been imposed in a hurry, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief amit shah claimed that no other state had been given 18 days to form the government. In his first reaction to the political crisis in Maharahstra, Shah challenged the ncp and the congress to stake claim to government formation. Meanwhile bjp challenged the congress, ncp and shiv sena to form a government. The party hit out at its former ally and claimed that the Sena had made demands post the assembly elections which were unacceptable.
He said "We were ready to form the government with the Shiv Sena. But there were certain things of shiv sena we could not have agreed to. We fought the elections in an alliance. We are the single largest party. When the ally tried to put a condition, which was not acceptable and we cannot form the government on our own as we have 105 seats, what can we do”.
