SP is as of now the tallest politician in MH and they say as with any such leader has gigantic ego. He is old, had cancer and still personally running around, doing negotiation while UT a non mass leader sending his tinpot messenger for negotiation with SP. This arrogance may not go down well with S...

So after giving up Hindutva, what is SS's USP? Why will voter vote for SS in the future. Does SS have a caste base like the Marathas for NCP? Hidutva was never their USP. Their voters are marathis in and around Mumbai. Hindutva was add-on which they can easily shake off without losing core votes. I...

I don't think that is legally tenable at all.

In my opinion it does come under criminal law (mass cheating) instead of election framework.

abhijitm

No party is going to split.
Unlike SS, NCP will not break pre poll alliance and support BJP
If BJP allows them to continue then high probability of this government lasting full term.

My preference would be get SC to call for new election.

Last option is to get SC to make split of pre poll alliance illegal and order a fresh election.

The biggest giveaway that SS are lying through their teeth about 50-50 formula was immediately after the result, on the day of result first reaction from SS was 50-50. Now here are the faultlines. They said: 1. 50-50 was agreed, that too by AS himself 2. SS was requested to keep quiet about it as BJ...

NCP and Cong both are playing games now fully knowing SS is under their thumb. Fun would be if BJP declare they have closed the door for SS . This will left SS with zero negotiation power with ncp and cong. Yesterdin, Shah gave an interview especially to address the MH situation where he squarely p...

Some of the cong/ncp conditions to SS: 1. No thackray family CM 2. 2.5 yrs CM for ncp 3. 5 yrs deputy CM for cong 4. 1/3rd ministries to cong, other 1/3rd to ncp 5. Key portfolios to ncp 6.

BJP MH president Chandrakant Patil played stupid game before the election. Wisdom says if there is a multi player fight then you kill the weakest first, feast on spoils and then go after next weakest. The weakest im MH is cong but instead of going after Cong with full force he decided to raid on NCP...

IMHO Pawar will not opt to support BJP without Cong buy in. He will not break his pre-poll alliance. Last time he offered support because NCP fought independently. This time too he would have easily given support to BJP first had there not been alliance with Cong. It didn't happend in last 20 days, ...

It was back then they had told me there was unhappiness amongst the cadre due to a general feeling of being given a raw deal by the BJP. What where their reasons to feel that BJP gave SS a raw deal? One, SS folks may have a feeling that they are the most supreme and by default BJP should be playing...

Key here is sena cadre who have not yet put the pressure on MLAs to deter from this act. If their street cadre think this is okay then UT will be further encouraged. I am suspecting sena was planning and waiting for a right opportunity to break away from hindutva and stick to local identity politics...

Also maintaining ambiguity in politics is key. How AS and NM don't speak, to maintain that ambiguity. When UT gave shouting job to Raut he should have kept mum. You have a parrot speaking then why take press conferences! If at the end if you want to change your stand then you can easily make scapego...

SS has put itself in a corner and as a lollipop if a couple of plum ministries are given they will like pakis claim victory in defeat and give BJP the support to form the government. Even that option for SS will go if they still act haughty. They put themselves in the corner and then dug a hole and...

NCP has hanged SS dry. They purposely sent the letter to guv today and immediately BJP imposed pres rule, like super coordinated plan!

yeh, may be BJP played the last card and resigned from the game. Over to NCP, Cong and SS.

Doubt this cabinet move will stand good in SC. Looks like to me bjp played its last card. Now if SC takes control then 'ram bharose' anything can happen.

Actually it would be short sighted for the INC and NCP to form a shaky government with the SS right now. If they let the state go into President's rule they are guaranteed a victory in the subsequent elections. They don't even have to do much, merely fight together, while the SS and BJP fight separ...

I wonder why people are writing off SS. After all they are the ones forming the govt, their vote share seems to be largely intact. They'll install a Maratha CM on the gaddi , supported by the other Maratha party. So where's the downside to this? What makes members o optimistic/pessimistic about SS'...

Raut was punching way above infinity and beyond his weight. I am following SS for decades now and this man was nothing but thackray's parrot whose job was to edit samaana newspaper and probably manage thackaray's finances like PA. And this time he became negotiator for government formation! That too...

Time to open enquiry on BMC contracts.

So NCP successfully broke 30 years alliance, that too pre-poll alliance, and then gamed SS. Bravo. I wonder if push comes to shove BJP has decided to support NCP, otherwise calling them to form gov makes no sense when publicly there was no intention from NCP. If that happens - really low probability...

abhijitm

I am not sure, but is there any precedence for this scenario where an alliance was formed before election and then a partner broke away to form gov with aother party? If not, then guv should have dissolved the assemble and called for fresh election citing immoral post election-alliance. Let SS+NCP+C...

In pure context of MH: There are many grey areas when it comes to hindu pride and "hindutva". A hindu, a proud hindu or devotional hindu, he doesn't automatically become BJP voter. Similarly rural hindus vote for NCP/Cong are not hinduphobe or islamists. Maharashtrian society is very reli...

3. After the government is formed, how will SS and CON/NCP react to sickular/hindutva taunts/baits thrown at the very unnatural alliance will be interesting. E.g. BJP could invite UT/AT to the a function to felicitate MH locals who facilitated the Ram temple and test it hindutva credentials. If SS ...

I have been judging few generation loyal SS voters, they are not happy with whats going on, but they will never ditch SS and shift their vote to other party. I am guessing SS has done this homework knowing not many of their voters are fence sitters. So, whatever they do will be eventually forgiven.

There is a stalemate is MH. Four major parties are too much for any state. So no single party can form gov on its own. Even if new election is held again all parties will come up with more or less same tally. SS has firmly realized this. Their plan look clear, go with whichever party is ready to giv...
