Newly sworn Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar today assumed charge.
Mr. Fadnavis said that they met Chief Secretary & Finance Secretary and discussed on various measures for additional support & assistance to unseasonal rain-affected farmers.
Earlier Today Supreme Court witnessed where both Sena-Cong-NCP and Bharatiya Janata Party claimed they have the numbers required to form the government. The top court, after hearing arguments of both sides, said it will announce its decision on the matter tomorrow, giving another 24 hours to the BJP, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and his deputy Ajit Pawar. While Congress-NCP-Sena again demanded an immediate floor test, the legal counsels of Centre and BJP jointly claimed that the decision of the floor test lies with the Governor. Sena-Cong-NCP maintained in court that all parties have agreed to a floor test and added that it should be conducted immediately to put an end to the debate over government formation. With no outcome from today’s hearing at SC, the Sena and NCP are again gearing up to protect their MLAs by shifting them to new hotels. A host of other developments are expected in the Maharashtra political drama, at least till the SC announces its verdict on the plea filed by Sena-Cong-NCP.
