President's
Rule was imposed in Maharashtra on Sunday after Chief Minister
Prithviraj Chavan resigned following the breakup of the 15-year-old
Congress-NCP alliance in the state.
President
Pranab Mukherjee signed the proclamation for imposing central rule in
Maharashtra a day after the Union Cabinet recommended putting the state
under President’s Rule.
The
brief Cabinet meeting on Saturday Sep 27,2014 was chaired by Home Minister Rajnath
Singh in the absence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is away in the
US.
With
the NCP withdrawing support to the government in Maharashtra, Chavan
had resigned on Friday. His resignation was accepted by Governor
Vidyasagar Rao.
Since
Assembly polls are scheduled for next month, the Governor, in his
report to the Centre, had recommended the imposition of President’s
Rule.
