New Update

As the halt over
government formation refuses to end in Maharashtra, Governor Bhagat Singh
Koshyari has recommended imposition of President’s rule in the state, reports
claimed on Tuesday.

The development comes
a day after the Governor asked the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party
(NCP) to express willingness and ability to form the government in the state
after Shiv Sena failed to come up with support letter.

 For NCP, the third largest party in the state,
Koshyari had set a deadline of 8:30 PM.

Reports have claimed
that Shiv Sena can approach Supreme Court, if President Rule is imposed in the
state. Sources said that Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray has talked to Kapil Sibal
and Ahmed Patel over the issue.

On the other hand,
Congress leaders Ahmed Patel, Mallikarjun Kharge and KC Venugopal are on their
way to Mumbai to hold talks with NCP chief Sharad Pawar.

“Congress President
Sonia Gandhi spoke to Sharad Pawar today morning and deputed Ahamed Patel,
Mallikarjun Kharge and myself for holding further discussions with the NCP
supremo. “We three are going to Mumbai now and will meet Sharad Pawar at the
earliest”, senior Congress leader KC Venugopal had tweeetd earlier in the day.
