The Shiv Sena and BJP won primarily by opposing incumbent chief minister Sharad Pawar's decision to approve a power project of Enron at Dabhol. The $2.8 billion project was being stalled on charges of corruption.
To save the project after the elections, Enron's Rebecca Mark rushed from United States to India. She officially scheduled her meeting with Chief Minister Manohar Joshi at the Secretariat House on 1 November 1995. But before that, she was called to Matoshree to meet Shiv Sena Chief Balasaheb Thackeray. He not only involved himself in the project and key decisions but also decided the appointments of top bureaucrats. [4]
