The Shiv Sena, Congress and the NCP have approached the Supreme Court after the BJP suddenly announced it would form government in Maharashtra and installed Devendra Fadnavis as Chief Minister and the NCP's Ajit Pawar as his deputy. The Congress's Randeep Singh Surjewala in a press conference this evening said the BJP has "betrayed" the people of Maharashtra. "November 23 will be a black chapter in the history of India when an illegitimate government was constituted by the Governor acting as a hitman on the Constitution of India at the instance of the Home Minister," Mr Surjewala said.
