The BJP, which had emerged as the single largest party, could not claim to form the government as its ally Shiv Sena was equal to the rank of Chief Minister and the sharing of the cabinet.
The Shiv Sena parted ways with the BJP to find ways to form a government. However, it failed to prove the support of the required number of MLAs at the time given by the state governor, Bhagat Singh Koshyari.
The Governor then invited the NCP, the third-largest party, imposing President’s rule in the state to prove its ability to thwart the government.
