New Delhi: A day after Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan resigned from his post, a special meeting of the Union Cabinet has been convened on Saturday evening to discuss the political situation in Maharashtra. According to sources, Maharashtra Governor CV Rao has recommended President's rule in the state.
"The Union Cabinet will meet at 7:30 PM today under the chairmanship of Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh," a senior official said on Saturday.
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.
