Maharashtra Governor – Bhagat Singh Koshyari recommended imposition of President’s rule in the state, according to a statement released by his office on Tuesday. The governor, who had given the NCP time till 8.30 PM on Tuesday to express its “willingness and ability” to form government, has submitted a report to President Ram Nath Kovind.

If there is re-election with no alliance of BJP with ShivSena and if BJP contest from all the seats, there are high chances of @BJP4Maharashtra crossing halfway mark & form govt

RT if you want re-election, rather than an compromised govt @Dev_Fadnavis#MaharashtraGovtFormation

* Shiv Sena meets Governor to ask for more time
* Governor refuses
* Shiv Sena again requests
* Governor again refuses
* Shiv Sena leaves his office
* Governor (in Mission Impossible style) removes his mask. Voila! It’s Amit Shah
* End of story#MaharashtraGovtFormation
