NCP leader Ajit Pawar
The Mahayutth government will be sworn in on December 5 in Maharashtra. Bharatiya Janata Party chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule gave information about the swearing-in date on Saturday evening. Meanwhile, NCP leader Ajit Pawar has clarified the government’s situation to a great extent, but suspense remains over the face of the chief minister. Ajit Pawar said the chief minister of the state will be from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), while the Shiv Sena and the National Congress Party (NCP) will have a deputy chief minister each.
Addressing the media in Pune, Ajit Pawar said the next chief minister of Maharashtra will be from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the two deputy chief ministers will be from other constituencies of the ruling grand alliance . Apart from the BJP, the Mahayurti alliance also includes the Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde and the NCP led by Ajit Pawar.
Ajit Pawar says – We have decided to move forward with a strong vision
When Ajit Pawar was asked who will be the chief minister of the state, he said the state will have a chief minister from the BJP and two deputy chief ministers from Mahayutty’s other two parties. The swearing-in ceremony will likely be held on December 5. We decided to move forward with a strong vision.
It is clear from Ajit Pawar’s statement that the BJP will retain the chief minister’s post but its appointee is yet to be announced. In the political corridors of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis’s name is at the forefront of the BJP’s chief ministerial post.
Mahayuthy wins resounding election victory, BJP in lead
The Mahayoti Alliance achieved a huge victory in the assembly elections held in Maharashtra. In this election, the Bharatiya Janata Party once again emerged as the largest party. The BJP contested 149 seats in the alliance but won 132 seats on its own. On the other hand, alliance partner Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena won 57 seats and Ajit Pawar-led NCP won 41 seats. Just like that, Mahayoti returned with a majority.
Devendra Fadnavis leads in CM race
In the current government, Eknath Shinde is the chief minister and Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar are the deputy chief ministers. Now that the BJP has the upper hand in the elections, the demand for the chief ministership has become stronger. Therefore, the chief minister’s chair will be held by a leader of the BJP, but who will be revealed in the next day or two.
