Bharatiya Janata Party

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on Monday said that Ajit Pawar has confessed to him that allying with the Bharatiya Janata Party was the biggest mistake. The 78-year-old leader also indicated that he may forgive Ajit for the misadventure that barely lasted 80 hours.

One day after Uddhav Thackeray government won the floor test in Maharashtra assembly with 169 votes out of 288-member house, MVA candidate Nana Patole has been elected as the speaker of Maharashtra Assembly unopposed as the Bharatiya Janata Party withdrew nomination of its candidate Kisan Kathore on Sunday morning.

Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray has been elected to lead the Congress-NCP-Sena alliance by the MLAs of the three parties during a meeting on Tuesday evening. The announcement came hours after the BJP's Devendra Fadnavis resigned as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra.

Hours after Devendra Fadnavis took oath as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and Ajit Pawar took oath as the Deputy CM, Bihar Deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi was all praise for the Union Home Minister Amit Shah, saying that he has once again proved that he is the 'real chanakya of Indian Politics'.

Addressing a press conference after surprise twist in the Maharashtra politics, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Sharad Pawar said all its MLAs had endorsed a Sena-led government in the state. "A true NCP member will never join hands with the BJP," he said, saying that 10-11 MLAs of his party had gone with Ajit Pawar.

Ajit Pawar has been removed as the NCP legislative party leader hours after he took oath as Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, along with the BJP's Devendra Fadnavis who was sworn in as the Chief Minister for a second consecutive term.

In an early morning twist, BJP took out the powerful CM post right from the Shiv Sena's door and formed the government in Maharashtra in alliance with Sharad Pawar's NCP. Devendra Fadnavis took oath as the Maharashtra CM for the second consecutive term and NCP's Ajit Pawar took oath as the deputy CM of the state.

In a major surprising development, Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday morning took oath as the Maharashtra CM for the second consecutive term while NCP's Ajit Pawar took oath as the Deputy CM of Maharashtra.

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Friday said that the party will not side with Bharatiya Janata Party even if Indra's throne is offered to them.

Congress high commands met their party chief Sonia Gandhi at her residence in New Delhi to discuss the plus and minus of forming the government in Maharashtra in alliance with Shiv Sena and NCP.
