CM Fadnavis says change, not oath, rest of ministers to take oath in December

Fadnavis said that a three-day special session of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly will begin on December 7. The new Speaker will be elected on December 9.

BJP's Devendra Fadnavis takes oath as Maharashtra Chief Minister. He also outlined the future of the 'mahajooti' government led by him. He held a press conference after the swearing-in ceremony on Thursday evening. "There will be no politics of vengeance," he said. " Maharashtra has witnessed a series of political upheavals since the 2019 assembly elections. "We have seen a lot of changes in the last five years," he said. We hope that there will not be any such hiccups in future. " Many believe that by making this comment, Fadnavis wanted to indicate that all the three allies of the ruling alliance will remain united.

Fadnavis said that a three-day special session of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly will begin on December 7. The new Speaker will be elected on December 9. The newly sworn-in chief minister also said that the other ministers will be sworn in before the winter session of the assembly at the end of this month. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and two deputy chief ministers, Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar, took oath on Thursday. According to a source, Shinde's Shiv Sena has demanded that the Home portfolio be given to them. According to sources, the BJP did not agree to the proposal. Fadnavis, who was the deputy chief minister in the previous Mahajuti government, said that the government's direction will remain the same even if the role of some people changes.

In the 288-member Maharashtra Assembly, the Mahavikas Aghadi of the Congress, Shiv Sena (Uddhav) and NCP (Sharad) failed to win even 50 seats. In such a situation, the question has been raised whether any of their MLAs will get the status of leader of opposition in the new assembly. The Governor will take a decision in this regard, he said. The government has no role in this.
