New Delhi, Nov 23 (IANS): The Congress on Saturday was caught sleeping and checkmated by the Nationalist Congress Party in an early morning coup when BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis took oath as Chief Minister and Sharad Pawar's nephew Ajit Pawar was made his deputy.

The Congress sources who were in Mumbai to finalise the negotiations that were expected to bring Shiv Sena's Uddhav Thackeray to the Chief Minister's post, were caught completely off-guard by the Bharatiya Janata Party's move, when NCP inched closer to the BJP -- it appeared no one had a clue.

The Congress said that this is "a clear case of backstabbing by the NCP". As the final meeting was scheduled at 12.30 p.m. on Saturday.

Earlier IANS reported that the delay in government formation was due to Pawar tactics as he was unwilling to concede full five year term to Shiv Sena and make Aditya Thackarey the Chief Minister.

Congress was cautious about his moves but when things moved faster NCP ditched the Shiv Sena and Congress.

    Height of stupidity on the part of the Congress to trust Sharad Pawar when he has already betrayed the Congress on Ms Sonia Gandhi becoming the PM. Congress doesn't learn lessons. It should have gracefully accepted the peoples verdict asking them to sit in the opposition instead of becoming a part of the manipulative politics of the NCP.
