The big news of the day is that the Shiv Sena and NCP have made clear that they’ll stake claim to form the government together, with the Congress promising support. But despite their request for an extension on the letters of support, the Maharashtra Governor has said that he will not allow an extension.

Again a QUICK disclaimer: Remember, the situation is super volatile and subject to change, so what we record now on this, might well be different by the time you get to hear this. But the rest of it still remains relevant.

With that said, onwards! 

More than two weeks after Maharashtra voted the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance back into power. The BJP said that they wouldn’t stake claim to form the government. And now the Shiv Sena has met the governor and said that they would stake claim to form the government in alliance with the NCP. But after we recorded this podcast, the Governor said that he couldn’t give them an extension.

But what would a Shiv Sena-NCP alliance with Congress’ support look like? What happens if no party can prove majority to form the government?
