Mumbai: The NCP in Maharashtra will abstain from voting in Legislative Assembly if a minority government headed by the BJP seeks trust vote.

"If Shiv Sena joins the government, there will be no problem. We will not be part of the government but do not want to create instability by voting against a minority government. So NCP will abstain if there is voting," NCP spokesman Nawab Malik told PTI. NCP would like to honour the people's mandate which is in favour of BJP ,the single largest party, he said.
