Meanwhile, in a vitriolic attack on the BJP, the Shiv Sena on Wednesday said it was deriving "sadistic pleasure" out of the struggle of other political parties to form government in Maharashtra. Without taking any names, the Sena said those who talk of ethics in politics are currently the "most disruptive".
On Tuesday, President's rule was imposed in Maharashtra after Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari in a report to the Centre stated that the formation of a stable government was impossible in the current situation despite all his efforts.
Despite their alliance getting a majority, the BJP and the Shiv Sena parted ways following a disagreement over power-sharing, with the Uddhav Thackeray-led party insisting on the chief minister's post.
The Congress and NCP said on Tuesday evening that they had not taken any decision about supporting the Shiv Sena to form government in Maharashtra yet, but will hold further discussions.
20 days after elections, Maharashtra has ended up with President's Rule. Despite hectic parleys, no party could prove numbers before Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari, who exhausted all options before sending a report to the Centre after which the cabinet recommended President's Rule.
Sanjay Raut was admitted to Mumbai's Lilavati hospital after he complained of uneasiness. Raut might have to undergo angiography, doctors have said. Sanjay Raut's sudden hospitalisation comes at a time when Shiv Sena is readying up to form government in Maharashtra amid an ongoing political crisis.
Sources said NCP chief Sharad Pawar may also meet the Congress president on Monday to discuss the possibility of the two parties supporting a Sena-led government. Kharge had earlier said in Jaipur that his party has "accepted" the public mandate to it to sit in the opposition in the state.
A fortnight later, the political crisis in Maharashtra is only deepening further. According to news agency IANS, Shiv Sena has decided to shift all its 65 MLAs to a private sea-facing hotel in suburban Bandra till the state comes out of the present deadlock.
