The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday announced that it would not form government in Maharashtra in view of the ally Shiv Sena’s stand to not join them in the efforts.

There has been no headway in government formation even a fortnight after Assembly poll results were announced on October 24. Caretaker chief minister Devendra Fadnavis drove to Raj Bhavan in south Mumbai on Friday and submitted his resignation to Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari.
