Maharashtra Government Live Updates: SC to pass order on Maharashtra at 10.30am on Tuesday

Girish Mahajan,BJP on Sanjay Raut: Verbal diarrhoea will be the right phrase to use for him. Even many Shiv Sena MLAs are frustrated with him and they may also think of going with us.

Tremors in Sena 17 MLAs revolt. Announce not going with Congress. Big question is will they breakaway from Sena and take lead in splitting Sena?

As Ajit Pawar is the legislature party leader of the NCP, his support is counted as party's support and hence, Anti Defection Law will not be applicable to those MLAs who are supporting BJP with Ajit Pawar. 

Meeting has been called by Congress at party office in Mumbai. Senior party leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and KC Venugopal to be present. 

Number game on in Maharashtra. BJP has 105 MLAs Ajit Pawar claims he has 29 MLAs with support from independents BJP will have support of 145 MLAS and can easily pass the floor test.

Maha Churning on at fast pace. Will NCP and Sena see a Split? If the fast paced developments in Maharashtra are any indication a split in NCP and Shiv Sena is not ruled out. Analysts say Sharad Pawar is on board and his statement that he was ignorant of his nephews decision is face saving one.

Prime minister Narendra Modi congratulated the Maharashtra chief minister Devender Fadnavis and deputy CM Ajit Pawar, after they form new government.

Ajit Faction a breakaway group of NCP about 20 are likely to be taken to a resort in Goa.

"If there are two parties that can claim to have people's mandate in Maharashtra, they are the ones that got together today to form the government. Hearty congratulations to Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar. It will turn out to be a historic alliance in Maharaahtra politics," BJP National General Secretary Ram Madhav said.
