Maharashtra Governor SC Jamir on Tuesday stepped
in to inject a sense of urgency in Government formation and NCP leader Chagan
Bhujbal added a new twist saying his party would support a Congress Government
from outside.
But his party leader and Union Minister Praful
Patel made it clear that his party will be part of the new Government that
will be formed "at the earliest".
Talks are on with Congress and issues will
be sorted out "amicably and to the satisfaction of all", he said
in New Delhi adding what he was saying is "official" stand of the
party.
12 days after the results were out giving
the Congress-NCP coalition a majority in the Assembly, the two parties are
yet to sort out problems of portfolio distribution among them and give an
indication as to when they would form the Government.
As the term of the outgoing Assembly ended
on Tuesday, the Governor called both Chief Minister Ashok Chavan and Deputy
Chief Minister Bhujbal separately and discussed with them the Government formation.
Bhujbal told reporters after the meeting with
Governor that it was for the Chief Minister to answer to why a Government
was not being formed.
