The one word #ShivSena will not be able to utter anytime soon is ‘betrayal’. Without, of course, inviting howls of laughter.#MaharashtraGovtFormation #MaharashtraPolitics

Maharashtra oath has important unanswered Qs :
1) when did union cabinet recommend revocation of President's rule ?
2) when did Fadnavis-Pawar stake claim ?
3) Can governor administer oath before President's rule was revoked?

Though Ahmed Patel looks silly, Congress is not the real loser in this Game of Thrones. The real loser is Shiv Sena. Till politics takes a new twist and turn, Shiv Sena will belong to neither home nor river bank. #Maharashtra

However, the biggest setback was to its former long-time ally Shiv Sena besides the Congress — the two parties were still in the last leg of negotoations with a meeting scheduled at 12.30 p.m.

Sources told IANS that Ajit Pawar was in talks with the BJP through party MP Sunil Tatkare who is close to Pawar junior and he has the support of around half the MLAs with him.

Sharad Pawar was aware of the move of Ajit Pawar so to prevent party from splitting, he started parallel negotiation with Sena to form government and kept both Ajit Pawar and Sunil Tatkare part of negotiations in Delhi and Mumbai.

Sunil Tatkare was the key man between BJP and NCP leaders.
