"In the interest of stability in the state, the NCP will abstain from voting if it is called for. In case the Shiv Sena joins the coalition, there should not be any problems. However, we will not vote against the minority government and create instability in the state," NCP state spokesman Nawab Malik told reporters.
Earlier, in a media interview NCP president Sharad Pawar made it clear that in case a situation warrants a vote to establish majority in the assembly, his party would keep off the vote.
Pawar cautioned that in the present political situation if the NCP votes against (BJP) the state could face elections within next six months.
Maharashtra BJP president Devendra Fadnavis is considered to be the frontrunner for state CM's post.
Malik added that since it is the peoples' mandate for the BJP making it the single largest party, the NCP would honour it though it will not be a part of the government.
Within hours of counting of votes October 19, the NCP offered "unconditional, external support" to the BJP to enable it to form the state government after a fractured verdict in the assembly polls.
Home minister Rajnath Singh, Rajiv Pratap Rudy, OP Mathur and JP Nadda will oversee the election of leader of the new BJP legislature party here on Tuesday.
The new chief minister of the first-ever BJP government in Maharashtra is likely to be sworn in October 31, in a mega-public ceremony at the Wankhede Stadium.
