The party won 108 seats in the elections, falling short by 10 seats of the majority needed to form the government. The initial plan was for Vijay to be sworn in as Chief Minister and then prove his majority on the floor of the Assembly within a stipulated time. However, governor Rajendra Arlekar reportedly declined the proposal and asked Vijay to first prove his majority before forming the government.
