Democracy ridiculed: Congress over Maharashtra coup
Mumbai/IBNS: Slamming the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress said democracy has been ridiculed by the saffron party which took the support of a faction of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) to form the Maharashtra government.
Congress leader Ahmed Patel said, "Democracy has been ridiculed."
However, Patel denied any delay on the Congress' part in forming the government. "We were not slow at all. Legitimate time has been taken for the process," he said.
Also the Congress leader is confident in forming the government with Shiv Sena and NCP.
BJP's Devendra Fadnavis took oath as the Chief Minister for the second time with Ajit as his deputy after the NCP leader claimed 35 of his party MLAs have supported the saffron outfit.
Though the tally of BJP-NCP is still five short of the majority mark (145), the saffron party is likely to cobble up the number with the support of the Independent MLAs.
