Mumbai/IBNS: After the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced it will not form the next government in Maharashtra, all eyes are on the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Congress whether they will join hands with Shiv Sena to provide governance to the people of the state.

After the BJP refused to form the government, Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari had invited Sena to form the government last night.

Announcing its sever of ties with the BJP, Sena's Arvind Sawant resigned as the minister from the Narendra Modi government at the Centre.

At this juncture, the NCP and Congress are holding meetings with their respective party leaders.

Earlier, NCP chief Sharad Pawar had refused to ally with Shiv Sena to form the government. "People have given us the mandate to sit in the Opposition," Pawar had said.

NCP leader Praful Patel told media, "The discussion on formation of government is a serious matter so these things should be dealt seriously."

According to governor house officials, Sena has to communicate to the governor by 7:30 pm on Monday.

Following the poll results which came out on Oct 24, the Sena demanded 50:50 power share in the government rotational Chief Ministership which were rejected by the BJP.

In the tally of seats, the BJP has 105 seats, Sena has 56, NCP 54 and Congress 44 respectively.
