Mumbai: Two days after the Nationalist Congress Party broke its 15-year-old alliance with the Congress, the alliance trouble continues to haunt the latter. The Congress on Saturday called off its alliance with the Samajwadi Party ahead of Maharashtra Assembly elections.
SP leaders said that Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan called them around 1 AM to inform that he hasn't got an approval from the high command. The SP was offered 8 seats as per the deal.
After the NCP announced to call off its ties with the Congress, Chavan informed that the Congress will go into Assembly polls along with Mulayam Singh's Samajwadi Party.
After NCP withdrew its support, Chavan resigned from the chief minister's post as his government was reduced to a minority in the state.
The voting is on October 15 and the counting of votes is on October 19.
