Cong-NCP score hat-trick in Maharashtra
Overcoming anti-incumbency caused by agrarian distress, price rise and acute power shortage, ruling Congress-NCP alliance in Maharashtra today stormed back to power for the third time in a row.
The decade-old coalition, with 144 seats, fell one short of majority in the 288-member assembly and would not find it difficult to enlist the support of independents and others for absolute majority as many of them were with it before the elections.
