While the dramatic turn of events in Maharashtra government formation has stunned opposition parties on Saturday morning, print media especially daily newspapers were completely taken caught off-guard by the fluid situation that prevailed in the Maratha politics.

Till Friday night (November 22), according to NCP President Sharad Pawar, Shiv Sena's Uddhav Thackeray was picked to lead the Maharashtra government. Starting from Congress to Shiv Sena, everybody was happy as it is the culmination of a long political crisis after Uddhav Thackeray broke its three-decade-long ties with the BJP.

However, the happiness of Congress, Shiv Sena and NCP were shortlived after Devendra Fadnavis returned as the chief minister again, backed by NCP's Ajit Pawar on Saturday morning.

Now, newspapers across the country that had published news with headlines claiming that Uddhav Thackeray is all set to be the new chief minister were simply unable to salvage the situation.
