New Delhi: A special meeting of the Union Cabinet to discuss the political situation of Maharashtra on Saturday recommended President Rule for Maharashtra.
The Union Cabinet met under the chairmanship of Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, just a day after Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan resigned from his post following the end of 15-year-old Congress-NCP alliance in the state.
Rajnath Singh has been authorised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take emergency decisions during his ongoing US tour.
After NCP withdrew support, Chavan resigned on Friday and his resignation was accepted by Governor C Vidyasagar Rao on Saturday.
NCP decided to terminate the 15-year-old alliance with Congress as talks between the two parties for seat-sharing ahead of the October 15 Assembly polls failed.
