Devendra Fadnavis will take oath as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra today. The oath ceremony is going to start at 5.30 pm. But there is still confusion over the name of the Deputy Chief Minister. Because it is being said that Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar will take oath as Deputy CM. But Eknath Shinde Day. The suspense on whether he will become CM or not is now gone.
Shinde will take oath!
Shiv Sena leaders wanted Eknath Shinde to become the Deputy Chief Minister. Uday Samant, Sanjay Shirsat, Sanjay Gaikwad Bharat Gogawal reached Deepak Kesarkar Shinde’s house to convince him. And their hard work has paid off. Eknath Shinde will now take oath as Day CM.
What do Shiv Sena leaders say?
Before this news, Uday Samant had said that Shinde is requested to take oath as Deputy Chief Minister. None of our 59 MLAs is interested in becoming Deputy Chief Minister. If Shinde will not accept the post of Deputy Chief Minister, we will also not accept the post of minister. So the decision on whether Shinde will become Deputy Chief Minister or not will be taken within an hour.
Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Shirsat said that after returning from Raj Bhavan, all of us MLAs went to meet Eknath Shinde yesterday. We have requested him to take oath in the government. There are many important decisions in government that require your participation.
What is the confusion regarding invitation card?
The invitation card for the swearing-in ceremony has been prepared by BJP, Shinde faction of Shiv Sena and nationalist Ajit Pawar faction. In which the name of Devendra Fadnavis is written as the Chief Minister. Eknath Shinde’s name is not written on the invitation card of Shinde faction for the post of Deputy Chief Minister. In such a situation the suspense has increased. NCP’s pamphlet says that Ajit Pawar will take oath as Deputy Chief Minister.
What did Shinde say?
On Wednesday, Devendra Fadnavis, Ajit Pawar and Eknath Shinde arrived to hand over letters of support to the Governor. After this the three leaders held a press conference. In which Shinde said that he will tell whether he will take oath or not. After this, Devendra Fadnavis reached Eknath Shinde’s house at seven in the evening. The meeting lasted for about forty minutes. In this meeting he was told that he was not being given the Home Ministry.
