Governor has asked outgoing chief minister Devendra Fadnavis to indicate the willingness and ability of his party to form the government in the state. The tenure of the 13th Assembly in Maharashtra set to end on Saturday midnight.
The BJP- Shiv Sena alliance has secured 161 seats in the 288 assembly . But they had not been able to stake claim to form the next government as there is a tug of war between the two parties.
