Nomination to those seats of MLC can't be held who's tenure left is less than six months. UT wanted to be nominated as an MLC to retain his position but constitution does not allow this.

The Constitution leaves it to the Governor's discretion. Koshiyari played it smart. He lobbed the grenade into the court of the EC. It's upto the EC to take a call. Of course if the nomination to the LC or the election doesn't happen, it's not the end of the world for UT, it merely embarrasses him & creates additional complications. For one his allies would insist that they wouldn't work under anyone except UT, should UT taking a page out of Jaylalitha's or Nitish Kumar's book & opt for a proxy from the SS. Alternatively , They'd demand the seat for themselves & set up UT for heavy bargaining in order to accommodate him. All said & done UT will find his opportunism to be more costly than he bargained for while in office too, while governance in Maharashtra goes for a toss. It's an unholy alliance in more ways than one.
