Sonia Gandhi-led Indian National Congress (INC)'s core group is set to meet today at her residence to take the final call on formation of Government with Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) as the latter was called by the Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari on Monday (11 November) night to decide on the same by Tuesday 8:30 pm, reports Asian News International (ANI).
The NCP was called by the Governor after the Shiv Sena led by Uddhav Thackeray failed to garner the needed numbers in time and asked the Governor for additional time to gather support for formation of government in the State with a Sena member as a Chief Minister (CM).
NCP, led by party supremo and veteran politician Sharad Pawar won a total of 54 seats, two lesser than the Shiv Sena, and almost half the tally scored by the BJP in the just culminated elections.
