Devendra Fadnavis and two deputy CMs will take oath on Thursday. Sources said that the Ministry of Home Affairs will remain with the BJP. Various other ministries have been divided among the three parties of the Mahayuti alliance.
According to Shiv Sena, Eknath Shinde will take the oath along with Ajit Pawar as Deputy Chief Ministers in the new government. Earlier, it was decided that Fadnavis would be the sole leader taking the oath as Chief Minister on Thursday.
Devendra Fadnavis is scheduled to assume the role of Chief Minister after being unanimously elected as the Leader of the Maharashtra
BJP Legislative Party earlier today. Fadnavis, Shinde, and Pawar met Governor CP Radhakrishnan to stake their claim to form the Mahayuti government.
After meeting the Governor, Fadnavis stated, "The swearing-in ceremony of the new government will be held tomorrow at 5:30 pm in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. We will finalise by evening who will take the oath tomorrow. Yesterday, I met Eknath Shinde and requested him to join us in this government, as it is the wish of Mahayuti workers. I am confident he will be with us. We will fulfil the promises made to the people of Maharashtra."
