Mumbai: Following the 15-day-long impasse, Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari on Saturday evening asked the BJP, the single largest party in the state, to "indicate willingness and ability" to form a government.
Sources close to acting Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who is the leader of state BJP's legislature wing, confirmed that Fadnavis had received the letter from the Governor.
