Mumbai/IBNS: In a new twist to the political crisis in Maharashtra, President's Rule was imposed on the state on Tuesday, media reports said.
The President's Rule has been imposed in the state for six months.
The rule was imposed on the state after the approval of President Ram Nath Kovind.
It is noted that the Governor's recommendation for President's rule in the state came when he had given time to the NCP till 2030 hours today to prove that they have numbers to form the government.
Earlier, the Governor had given time to the BJP to form the government. However, the saffron party informed its unwillingness to form the government, after its ally Shiv Sena demanded an equal power sharing.
The Governor had also invited Sena to prove that they have numbers before 1830 hours on Monday, but they failed to present adequate numbers, because the Congress has delayed its decision over giving support to a Sena-NCP government in the state.
