Sanjay Raut Demands President’s Rule In Maharashtra As Mahayuti Fails To Form Govt Before End Of Assembly Term On Nov 26 Despite Landslide Victory;

Published

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut on Wednesday called for the implementation of President’s Rule in Maharashtra following the end of the Assembly’s term on November 26.

Speaking to the media, Raut criticised the Mahayuti alliance’s inability to form a government despite securing a huge victory in the Assembly elections. He said, “They (Mahayuti) have got a massive majority, yet they have neither decided on the Chief Minister nor formed a government. When we were hopeful to form the government, we were told that if we failed to do so by November 26, President’s Rule would be imposed.”

Mahayuti Stalemate

The Mahayuti alliance, which won over 230 seats in the 288-seat Maharashtra Assembly, has yet to declare the next chief minister of the state. According to sources, while the alliance has decided on the chief minister, discussions over portfolio allocation among the BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP are delaying the announcement.

Once an agreement is reached, the new Chief Minister of Maharashtra will be officially announced, sources confirmed.

Raut Alleges EVM Manipulation, Demands Ballot Paper Voting

Raut also raised concerns over alleged Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) manipulation, claiming that it played a role in the defeat of the Maha Vikas Aghadi in the recent elections. He remarked, “We have been raising the EVM issue for the last 10 years. When Congress was in power, the BJP questioned EVMs. Listen to Modi’s old speeches—he called EVMs a fraud. If EVMs are removed, BJP won’t win even 25 seats in the entire country.”

He further urged the Election Commission to revert to ballot paper voting, stating, “Conduct the elections on ballot papers, and whatever the results, we will accept them.”

Is Government Formation Mandatory?

According to legal experts and reports, including one by News18, there is no constitutional requirement for a government to be formed before the end of the Assembly’s term. President’s Rule does not automatically come into effect if a government is not in place by the deadline.

Historical precedents show instances where governments were formed or Chief Ministers were sworn in after the term of the Assembly.

Mumbai: The Batti Gul protest demonstration in Mumbai against the Waqf Act was very successful.

In the Batti Gul protest, the lights of Muslim neighborhoods, areas and streets were turned off. This protest was successful. All India Muslim Personal Law Board Coordinator Mahmood Daryabadi also declared the protest successful and said that the movement will continue until the Waqf Act is withdrawn.

In Mumbai’s Colaba area, MLA Abu Asim Azmi participated in a protest demonstration and Batti Gul against the Waqf Act, calling it anti-Muslim and demanding its withdrawal. He said that Muslims have protested Batti Gul on the appeal of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, which was successful. He said that the protest will continue until the act is withdrawn. Abu Asim Azmi said that this act has been brought to grab the properties of the Waqf, which is unacceptable.

In the Muslim-majority areas of Mumbai, the lights went out as soon as 9 o’clock and the normal system came to a standstill for 15 minutes, which also affected the power supply because a sudden power outage for 15 minutes also affects the power supply. In Mumbai, Muslim-majority areas including Kurla, Andheri, Nagpara, Dongri, Paidhoni, darkness fell at 9 o’clock when the lights were switched off and the darkness became so much that the darkness of the night became even darker.

After the Batti Gul in Mumbai, darkness settled in the city. An awareness campaign was also launched in the Muslim-majority areas of Mumbai regarding the Batti Gul campaign, due to which this campaign became successful. Members of the Muslim Personal Law Board and national organizations in Mumbai have declared the Batti Gul protest a success.
