Maharashtra politics

The Shiv Sena’s decision to function as the Opposition while continuing talks with BJP indicates the confused state of mind of its leader and his inability to take decisions on important issues (“ >After NCP support to BJP, Sena to sit in Opposition ,” Nov.11). Mr. Thackeray will realise now that had he taken a positive stand on the pre-election demand of the BJP for equitable seat-sharing, the NDA could have formed the government in Maharashtra with a clear majority. The NCP’s support is unreliable and there could be another round of elections. Prudence demands that Mr. Thackeray abandons his over-ambitious stand on joining the Fadnavis government in the interest of stability and the welfare of the State. It might fetch his party good dividends later.

Mr. Sharad Pawar’s “unasked, unconditional and unilateral” statement is amusing. Has he forgotten that in election rallies the NCP was attacked and labelled as the “Naturally Corrupt Party”? If the BJP is honest politically and morally, it should have turned down the NCP’s support. Ensuring stability is not an excuse to ignore corruption.
