A final decision on the government formation in Maharashtra is likely to come in the evening.

Thackeray sought the NCP’s support to help the government formation during his meeting with Pawar. The development came a day after the BJP conceded that it was unable to form the government. Later the governor called Shiv Sena to form the government in the state.

 

Now all eyes are on Sonia Gandhi to take up a decision forming the government in Maharashtra with Shiv Sena and NCP.
