MUMBAI : The leadership crisis in Maharashtra might see an end soon, with NCP leader Sharad Pawar announcing Friday that the Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party and Congress will form govt in Maharashtra, in 20 days.
It will complete a full term, he added, in response to former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’s taunt that, a Sena-NCP-Congress govt cannot last more than six months.
For now, all the three parties have agreed on a minimum agenda. The common minimum programme lays emphasis on farmer and youth issues.
Congress took time to come around given its ideological contrast with intensely Hindutva Sena.
Shiv Sena and BJP fought Oct Assembly elections in an alliance and won majority. However their arguments over holding chief ministership for the tenure, saw breakdown of the nearly three-decade old alliance.
With any one party or alliance failing to prove majority, the state went under President’s Rule.
