The Opposition once again seized the opportunity that came their way through the Maharashtra governor's speech on Wednesday to take a jibe at the three-party state government. It said that the government was directionless and unstable in view of many reasons including ideological differences.

"We, the BJP, would always consider Hinduhridaysamrat Bal Thackeray as our deity. Can anyone tell us whether the late Sena founder had been promised to make a Sena CM in association with the Congress and NCP?" Opposition leader in the Assembly, Devendra Fadnavis asked while referring to the Sena president's repeated statements that he had given his father his word about making a Shiv Sainik the party's CM. The decision ultimately led to the break-up of the partners who had fought the Assembly elections together. He said if the Sena had committed mistakes then it should not justify the follies with a political philosophy.
