Eknath Shinde and Devendra Fadnavis assumed office on June 30.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, their first meeting after the new government assumed office in the state.
Mr Shinde and Mr Fadnavis met the Prime Minister at his Lok Kalyan Marg residence and sought his "blessings and guidance" for development of Maharashtra.
"The Chief Minister of Maharashtra Shri Eknath Shinde and the Deputy Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi," the Prime Minister's Office said on Twitter.
Earlier, addressing a press conference in New Delhi, Mr Shinde said he would try and understand the prime minister's vision for the development of the state and strive to take Maharashtra to newer heights.
Eknath Shinde said several projects such as the Samruddhi Expressway connecting Mumbai and Nagpur, metro rail in cities, and digging farm ponds to boost irrigation, which were initiated by Mr Fadnavis but had run into delays under the Uddhav Thackeray-led government, will be put on fast-track.
Mr Shinde and Mr Fadnavis assumed office on June 30 after Mr Thackeray resigned as chief minister, facing a massive rebellion in his Shiv Sena party.
As many as 40 Shiv Sena MLAs and 10 independents walked out of the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi, an alliance formed with Congress and NCP, last month accusing Thackeray of deviating from the ideals of party founder Balasaheb Thackeray.
