Maharashtra hasn't seen one-party rule for three decades
Maharashtra may be a nightmare for political pandits, but the state has not witnessed single-party rule for the last nearly thirty years.
Since 1995, only alliances have ruled in the state, though the last five years witnessed extraordinary realignments where former allies became sworn enemies and sworn enemies became friends.
The state had its last one-party government in 1990 when the Congress retained power by winning 141 seats in the 288-member assembly though it fell short of a simple majority. The BJP won 42 and Shiv Sena 52 seats. The present coalition-era started in 1995 when the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance ended the Grand Old Party's hegemony and formed a government.
It was not the first coalition government in the state's history, though.
The first coalition came to power in 1978 when Congress (O) and Congress (Indira), the two post-Emergency factions of the Congress, formed a government.
