It had been nigh on a month since the Maharashtra government formation saga began. And matters might be coming to a head soon.
In the latest twist, recently appointed Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar resigned from their posts.
Social media doesn't quite know what to make of the ever-developing situations and some hilarious messages have emerged.

Just amazing - the games and countergames, play and #PawarPlay, the cloaks and daggers, buses and gold, winners and losers and talk of bought and sold - the #MaharashtraCrisis brought to the fore.

1 "Modi-Shah" tells Fadnavis to resign
2 Modi puts end to horse-trading, saves Constitution#MaharashtraCrisis
With this 4-day tamasha, the BJP has inadvertently made the khichdi coalition look united, galvanised & focused. The perceived power-grab has softened the glaring contradictions between the Sena-Congress-NCP. It has helped the opportunitists look like they have a cause. Simple.

Assuming this sordid chapter is over and there is no new twist, Pawar has pulled a fast one over the BJP. The latter will, during the re-election, be reminded of their appropriation of the corrupt. With what face can the BJP now criticise the NCP - its policies & practices? WDTT https://t.co/MFkShNUo2t

Maharashtra events might prove to be 1967 Moment in new age politics. It sends strong signal if opposition parties can be united then BJP can be defeated. Similar to Anti-Congress-ism, Anti-BJP-ism can stay. #MaharashtraPoliticalDrama #MaharashtraCrisis #MahaMLAParade
