Devendra Fadnavis Sworn In As Maharashtra Chief Minister, Ajit Pawar His Deputy | Read

The BJP made a stunning comeback in Maharashtra as the party's Devendra Fadnavis took oath as Chief Minister on Saturday morning with a deputy, Ajit Pawar, whose Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) had just hours before sealed a Shiv Sena-led alliance along with the Congress. Ajit Pawar's uncle Sharad Pawar, the chief of the NCP, said his party is still with the Shiv Sena and its chief Uddhav Thackeray. The BJP would lose the trust vote, said Sharad Pawar, alleging that Ajit Pawar had misled the Governor and handed him letters of support that had been taken for the Shiv Sena-led alliance. Devendra Fadnavis has to prove his majority by November 30, reports suggest.
