The Ministry of Home Affairs has outlined the conditions of President's Rule that has been imposed in Maharashtra on the governor's recommendation and said that as per protocol, the directive will only be valid for six months.

"The President's Rule can be withdrawn if any party can prove majority," the statement was quoted as saying by reports. The statement also said that the decision was taken after Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari's recommendation because he claimed that a stable government couldn't be formed in the state.

Maharashtra governor was of the view that it has been 15 days since the conclusion of the electoral process and none of the political parties are in the position to form a govt in the state; President's Rule is a better option.
