  • After the results of Maharashtra assembly elections were declared, none of the major parties or pre-poll coalitions were found to have won majority to form the government.

  • So, Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari invited the largest party in Assembly to form a majority government.
  • Since the option failed, he invited the second largest and third largest parties to explore the possibility of forming a government.
  • The Governor then sent a report to President to proclaim President’s Rule under Article 356 (1) of the Constitution.
  • The Union Cabinet, led by Prime Minister approved the recommendation to the President and Maharashtra has now been placed under President’s rule.
  • The Assembly will be kept under suspended animation.
