The wait is finally over for the people of Maharashtra as Devendra Fadnavis, the leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is set to take oath as the Chief Minister of the state at Mumbai’s Azad Maidan tomorrow. This marks his third term as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and will be a significant milestone in his political career. Maharashtra Chief Minister
The BJP leadership has finalised Mr Fadnavis as its choice for the Chief Minister post, potentially ending the long-drawn suspense over who would get the top job. Soon after, his name was placed before the newly elected legislators and their approval finalised his selection. This decision comes two weeks after the BJP-led Mahayuti’s mammoth victory in the state polls.
Mr Fadnavis will today call on Governor CP Radhakrishnan to officially stake claim to form the government. At the BJP legislators’ meeting, Mr Fadnavis said he was honoured to be named the leader of the legislature party and said he wouldn’t be here without the support of the BJP’s 132 MLAs. He thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his support and said the BJP’s ‘double engine’ government will bring about development in Maharashtra.
The BJP’s core committee’s selection of Mr Fadnavis caps the 11-day suspense in Maharashtra over who would get the Chief Minister post. Following the poll result, in which Mahayuti won 230 out of 288 seats in the Assembly, Shiv Sena leaders stressed that Mr Shinde led the alliance into the polls and must stay on as Chief Minister. The BJP, however, made it clear that it would claim the top post this time, having won 132 out of the 148 seats it contested. Maharashtra Chief Minister
Eventually, Mr Shinde publicly said he wouldn’t be an obstacle in government formation and would accept any decision taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah on the Chief Minister post. Despite the Sena chief’s public statement clearing his position on the top post, the posturing by party leaders continued, with statements stressing that Mr Shinde’s contribution to the Mahayuti win must not be overlooked.
Mr Shinde did not have much leverage to push a hard bargain since the BJP now needs only one of its allies to reach the majority mark in the Assembly and the NCP has reportedly pledged its support. The Sena party is now looking forward to strengthening its ties with the BJP, which will help it to further its interests in the state.
The oath ceremony at Azad Maidan is being held on a grand scale, with large numbers of BJP workers and supporters expected to gather there tomorrow. The event is being watched closely by political analysts and observers who are eager to see how Mr Fadnavis takes up the mantle as the new Chief Minister of Maharashtra.
As Mr Fadnavis assumes office, he will be surrounded by a team of experienced ministers and advisors who have been handpicked by him for their ability and commitment. The BJP’s top leadership is confident that with the support of the NCP and other allies, Mr Fadnavis will be able to implement his development agenda in Maharashtra. Maharashtra Chief Minister
The BJP’s ‘double engine’ government promise has been a major electoral plank for the party in recent years. According to Mr Fadnavis, this means that two engines – one driven by the state government and the other by the central government – will work together to drive economic growth and development in Maharashtra.
However, critics of the BJP have pointed out that the party’s development agenda has been limited so far. They argue that the government has failed to deliver on its promises and that more needs to be done to address the state’s pressing issues such as unemployment, poverty, and infrastructure development.
Despite these challenges, Mr Fadnavis remains confident that his government will be able to achieve significant progress in the coming years. He has promised to work tirelessly to improve the lives of Maharashtra’s citizens and to bring about transformation in the state.
As Mr Fadnavis takes oath as the new Chief Minister of Maharashtra, he is taking over a legacy left by the previous Chief Ministers who have worked hard to build a prosperous and modern state. With his commitment to development and his experience in governance, Mr Fadnavis is well-placed to lead the state towards a brighter future. Maharashtra Chief Minister
The people of Maharashtra are eagerly looking forward to seeing how Mr Fadnavis’s government will fare in the coming years. Will it be able to deliver on its promises and bring about significant progress in areas such as economic growth, infrastructure development, and social welfare? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – with Devendra Fadnavis at the helm, Maharashtra will have a new leader who is committed to building a better future for its citizens.
