Hung assembly in Maharashtra; Congress emerges as the largest partyWith the assembly elections throwing up a hung assembly, political activity in Maharashtra has intensified. While some senior leaders have indicated that the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party may be willing to bury the hatchet, the Sena-BJP too has begun contacting Independents and members of smaller parties for support. According to unconfirmed reports the Shiv Sena has offered to give its alliance partner, the BJP, the chief minister's post if they form the government together. The ruling Shiv Sena-BJP combine, which has improved its tally considerably as far as Lok Sabha seats are concerned, has failed to keep up its good show in the legislative assembly. Out of the total 288 seats, results for which are available now, the Congress has emerged as the single largest party with 75 seats, while the ruling Shiv Sena-BJP combine has won 125 ( Sena 69 and the BJP 56). The breakaway Congress group - the Nationalist Congress Party has cornered 58 seats. Of the smaller groups the Janata Dal (secular), the Samajwadi Party and the CPM have won two seats each, the Peasants and Workers Party has won five, the Bharipa Bahujan Mahasangh three, the Republican Party of India, the Gondwana Ganantantra Party, the Native People's Party and the Samajwadi Janata Party have all won one seat each, while 12 seats have gone to independents.
