Devendra Fadnavis’s claim
maharashtra Deputy chief minister devendra fadnavis said on wednesday that President’s rule was imposed in
the state in 2019 with the consent of nationalist congress party (NCP) President Sharad Pawar. However, NCP
rejected the bharatiya janata party (BJP) leader's statement and termed it as baseless. The Deputy Chief Minister
was responding to a question at the india Today Conclave here on the timing of his attempt to form a short-term
government with the NCP. In an unexpected development after the 2019 elections in maharashtra, the then
Governor bhagat singh koshyari had sworn in fadnavis as the chief minister and ajit pawar as the Deputy
chief minister on 23 november 2019.
Whose idea was it to impose President’s rule?
However, that government fell after about 72 hours. fadnavis said on wednesday, “After the 2019 assembly
elections in the state, we were discussing government formation with Sharad Pawar. We had also finalized the
division of departments and responsibilities of the ministers in charge. But Pawar changed (his) stand and backed
down. He stressed that the decision to impose President’s rule in the state was taken only with Pawar’s consent.
In the 2019 elections for the maharashtra Assembly, bjp won 105 out of 288 seats, and shiv sena, which is in
alliance with bjp, won 56 seats. However, after the dispute over the post of chief minister, shiv sena separated
from the alliance. After this, due to the political deadlock in the state, President’s rule was imposed in the state.
