Devendra Fadnavis took oath as Maharashtra Chief Minister on November 23. NCP’s Ajit Pawar took oath as Deputy CM of the state. The oath was administered by the Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari at Raj Bhawan. Fadnavis became the CM of Maharashtra for the second time in a row. The move came in at the time when deliberations between Congress, NCP and Shiv Sena seemingly reached at the final stage on Friday. Shiv Sena parted its ways from BJP to explore ways to form a government. However, it failed to prove majority to form the government. BJP had won 105 seats, Shiv Sena 56, NCP 54 and Congress 44 in the 288-members Assembly. For latest news follow www.deccanherald.com.
