Eknath Shinde Takes Oath As Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister, Ends Suspense
Maharashtra's former Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, who managed to drag out the suspense over the question of his joining the Devendra Fadnavis government till the last possible minute, took oath as the Deputy Chief Minister in Mumbai this evening.
In his acceptance speech -- which started even before the Governor could administer the oath -- he recalled Bal Thackeray and Anand Dighe and thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and the people of Maharashtra.
