The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 12 Nov 2019The realignment in Maharashtra will have national implications for NDA.
Shiv Sena and BJP, after running together and coming up trumps in Maharashtra’s assembly elections – together their alliance raked in 161 out of the state’s 288 seats – have effectively divorced. This amounts to a betrayal of their mandate, as logistical issues about the sharing of power should have been worked out beforehand instead of being left for after the elections. Be that as it may Indian politics – certainly not the world’s most principled – is well known for these non-linear turns that stump the electorate. Only recently the Jananayak Janata Party joined hands with BJP in Haryana after opposing it during electioneering. Things being what they are, Maharashtra nevertheless deserves a government.
