NCP has increased its tally by 13 seats, while Congress has lost 7 (compared to previous polls) yet Congress insists for the chief-ministership. This inspite of the fact that it contested about 50% more seats than NCP. Congress needs to honour & accept the people's verdict (as it advises the BJP at the centre) And no matter how all Congress MLA's are tweeting (like parrots taught to mumble) about the "Tyaag" of Soniya"ji" doing the trick, its simply the magic of Sharad Pawar that has worked.
N.C.P., could accomplish 71 seats in maharashtra state election only due to its alliance with congress. The party certainly could not have independently won so many seats. It is the great influenze of congress due to the charisma of Smt. Sonia Gandhi, Dr. Manmohan Singh and other honest and devoted persons in congress, that people have voted in support of NCP. So the root cause of the victory of congress - NCP alliance and none other! The fragrance of Congress is widely spread. So only Congress is entitled to nominate its person as Chief minister!
NCP will stake its claim for chief ministership and it should. But Sharad Pawar can promote national interests better by remaining in the Union Cabinet than to be saddled in chief minister's chair in a State. - Pushpa Pandeya pushpapandeya@hotmail.com
Even if NCP not stake claim for CM's post,it's CONG to leave this post for NCP for strenthing his alliance.I give all the credit to Mrs.gandhi who leads DF alliance to victory.
As per the rule, the governer will call the largest party to form the government, hence he should, naturally, call NCP to form the government. It will be then upto Sharad Pawar to decide weather they should accept the CMship or make a tyag like Sonia and commit suiside.
Chief Ministership for NCP was Sharad Pawars's dream and that was the reason, he said goodbye to his other founder members like Sangamma, and joined hands with SoniaG, his one time arch rival whom he proclaimed as a foreigner.
Now, he should not and can not ditch his own supporters in Maharashtra. We want to see him as Chief Minister of Maharashtra, so that he can bring more funds to the state like Rabdi Devi bringing in money for Bihar via Lalooprasad.
