New Delhi: BJP on Tuesday described as "post-poll
political drama" the failure of the Congress-NCP alliance to
reach an understanding on formation of a government in
Maharashtra and said this was an insult to the people's
mandate.
"This is post-poll political drama of the pre-poll
alliance between Congress and NCP. Since the votes secured by
them is a result of the division of Opposition votes, they are
not able to digest the fact that they have got a majority,"
BJP vice-president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said.
Today is the last day for forming a government in
Maharashtra as the term of the outgoing assembly comes to an
end. BJP has already stated it would approach Maharashtra
Governor S C Jamir and demand imposition of President's Rule
in the state.
Naqvi said the manner in which Congress and NCP were
"fighting on the streets" was an insult to the people's
mandate.
Congress and NCP have differences over who should become
Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister as well as over
sharing of cabinet berths.
