Uddhav Thackeray Attending Swearing-In a Big Step: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis

Mumbai: Today, BJP's Devendra Fadnavis addressed the media for the first time after becoming Maharashtra chief minister. Mr Fadnavis was sworn-in earlier today at a ceremony at the Wankhede stadium.

Here are the highlights:

• I understand my responsibilities.
• Common man suffers because there is a lack of transparency and efficiency.
• People have to keep visiting govt offices for information. Will bring in a transparent system of governance. 
  
• It is known that the state faces a huge fiscal deficit.
• Will take presentations from each department so that I know where each department stands.
  
• There are mistakes in governance but I assure you if we make mistakes, it will not have any malafide intentions.
• There needs to be a sense of urgency in development. Many projects need to be completed. 
• All these years, when I took a presser, I didn't have any sense of nervousness. Today I do.
• Sena's Uddhav coming is a big step. We urged him to attend the swearing-in ceremony. Our talks are on and are in the right direction.
