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.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Suryawanshi|first=Sudhir|date=2020-05-30|title=‘Baba, you have to accept challenge’: Aaditya Thackeray said after Pawar wanted Uddhav as CM|url=https://theprint.in/pageturner/excerpt/what-aaditya-thackeray-said-after-pawar-wanted-uddhav-as-cm/432362/|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200531102239/https://theprint.in/pageturner/excerpt/what-aaditya-thackeray-said-after-pawar-wanted-uddhav-as-cm/432362/|archive-date=2020-05-31|access-date=2021-06-10|website=theprint.in}}</ref>
