Shiv Sena in Whirl: President’s Rule Imposed in Maharashtra Abhishek Tripathi News Updates Wed, Nov 13, 2019, at ,12:41 PM The political dynamics in Maharashtra have been changing every hour. After giving chances to form a government to all the three major parties in Maharashtra Mr. Bhagat Singh Koshyari, governor of Maharashtra, had on Tuesday recommended for President’s Rule in Maharashtra. Subsequent to the recommendation the President rule imposed on Maharashtra on Tuesday i.e. 12/11/2019. What really happened in Maharashtra? Shiv Sena, the second to be called to form a government has accused of not getting proper time to collect the support to form the government. Shiv Sena accused that BJP got 48 hours to claim the majority while the governor just gave 24 hours to Shiv Sena. Earlier Shiv Sena had visited the governor asking for more time to collect the support to form a government and the same was refused by the governor. After the time had exhausted for Shiv Sena the governor sent an invite to the third-largest party NCP. NCP also asked for more time to collect the support vote and denying the same the governor sent a recommendation for President’s rule in Maharashtra. Shiv Sena in the whirl: Shiv Sena has called off its 30-year-old political friendship with the BJP. Shiv Sena chief Udhav Thakare wanted a 50-50 scheme for government in Maharashtra. He said that the coalition stood on the pact that the government will be shared on a 50-50 partnership between Sena and BJP. But BJP wanted the whole 5-year term for Chief Ministership, to which the Shiv Sena rigidly opposed and asked half of the term for Aditya Thakre as CM. Meanwhile when BJP was called by the governor to form government BJP failed to prove the support subsequent to which Devendra Fadnavis resigned from the post of CM. In course of breaking ties with BJP Shiv Sena MP Arvind Sawant resigned from the Union council of ministers. Shiv Sena and NCP-Congress coalition came in picture after the split of Shi Sena and BJP. The unlikely coalition was questioned on an ideological basis. Shiv Sena is an extreme Hindu ideology party and also opposes non-Maharashtrian in Maharashtra while Congress is a secular nationalist party. The ideological clash raised many questions like Will congress be part of the government or will support from the outside? NCP’s intentions were also suspected as the NCP earlier had declared that they had no intentions to form a government and they will sit in the opposition as the mandate suggests them to do so. Shiv Sena is now in a situation where they have a lot to lose. Their long-trusted coalition have been broke and the stands on NCP-Congress are not clear yet. Shiv Sena has moved to Supreme Court against the action of the governor, accusing the governor have not given proper time to form a government. The petition has been listed before Justice Bobde’s bench on Wednesday. All doors are not closed for Shiv Sena yet. Since the President’s rule has already been imposed now there is no time bar for collecting the support. It’s time for Shiv Sena and NCP-Congress to formulate their agreement and also time for congress to re-think about the coalition. The dynamics of Maharashtra politics have been changed entirely. The court's interference will now suggest what would happen now.
