BJP had withdrawn its efforts of forming a government in Maharashtra despite being the Single Largest Party. It has informed the same to the Governor. Shivsena which contested election along with BJP before the election is likely to form the government with Congress and NCP.
This has taken BJP by shock and surprise. BJP fans are neck-deep in disappointment lamenting that Devender Fadnavis is a progressive leader and with the government change various developmental projects taken up by him will come to a grinding halt.
TDP fans, however, are rejoicing this moment. “This is exactly what we felt when BJP played a part in shunting out a progressive leader like Chandrababu Naidu and bringing a corrupt leader as the Chief Minister. With no wealth creation and mindless populism, Andhra Pradesh will suffer in the next five years,” they say.
However, some BJP fans are confident that Amit Shah will pull out the plug of the Sena and NCP government in a year or two just like how it happened with Congress – JD(U) government in Karnataka. However, as of now, Shivsena and NCP MLAs are proving to be tough to be lured by the BJP.
