Can't stop parties from forming alliances: SC

he bench, which also had Justices Ashok Bhushan and Sanjiv Khanna, had on November 26 directed the BJP's Devendra Fadnavis to prove his majority on the floor of the House by the next day. However, then chief minister Fadnavis and his then deputy Ajit Pawar tendered their resignations, culminating in the emergence of the Maha Vikas Aghadi of the Shiv Sena, NCP and the Congress.According to the petitioner, the voters of Maharashtra had given their verdict on the pre-poll alliances of the Shiv Sena and the BJP and the Congress and the NCP, and so the combines could not now swap allies as it amounted to a "fraud" on the voters.However, the court said: "Political parties have to abide by the promises.. But. if they don't, we cannot do anything about it. Having heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and perusing the material available on record, we find no merit in the writ petition."
