MUMBAI: Hours after the Supreme Court asked the Centre to place before it on Monday the letters of Maharashtra Governor recommending revocation of President’s rule and inviting Devendra Fadnavis to form government, the BJP said the court’s decision strengthens its claim that Ajit Pawar continues to be the NCP’s legislature party leader.
Senior party leader Ashish Shelar said, “The game is up for the Congress, NCP and Shiv Sena. Ajit Pawar can issue whip to the NCP legislators.”
Reacting to the SC’s decision, NCP leader Nawab Malik said, “The swearing-in took place on the basis of bogus documents. Devendra Fadnavis does not have the numbers.” (PTI)
