Mumbai, October 22: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Chhagan Bhujbal today said Congress-NCP alliance would get the ‘magic figure’ to form the state government.
“We will get the magic figure to form the government.
There may be difference of two-three seats, but with 21 rebels leading in the state it’s not difficult to achieve the majority,” Bhujbal told reporters here.
Expressing hope that the Congress-NCP combine would reach the magic figure of 145 seats, he said the ruling alliance was leading on 139 seats while the Shiv Sena-BJP was stuck at 100-seat mark.
On the performance of MNS in its first Assembly polls, Bhujbal said the party has not caused any trouble to the NCP.
“I was expecting the party to get 6 to 12 seats and the MNS is leading on almost the same number of seats,” he said.
