After the oath ceremony, Amruta Fadnavis said she is happy that Devendra ji has taken oath as CM for the third time today and he has served the people and will continue to do so in future too.
Devendra Fadnavis became a corporator in the Nagpur civic body at 22 and its youngest Mayor in 1997 at the age of 27. Fadnavis contested his first assembly election in 1999 and won. There was no looking back for him as he won three subsequent assembly elections.
Devendra Fadnavis salary, allowances: As per reports, Devendra Fadnavis as Maharashtra Chief Minister will get a monthly salary of Rs 340,000 along with perks worth Rs 160,000.
Maharashtra govt formation: After a long hiatus, the Mahayuti alliance is all set to form the government in Maharashtra with Fadnavis as Chief Minister on Thursday. Meanwhile, the BJP is not ready to compromise on the Home Ministry and is likely to keep it to itself.
Maharashtra government formation: Addressing a press conference soon after meeting the governor, Eknath Shinde said Devendra Fadnavis recommended his name two and a half years ago and today he has supported him.
Maharashtra: These leaders met the Governor to stake a claim to form government in the state. Devendra Fadnavis was on Wednesday unanimously elected as Maharashtra BJP legislature party’s leader, paving the way for his swearing in as the chief minister for a third time.
Earlier on Sunday, acting CM Shinde said that he is not upset and extended his unconditional support to the BJP. He said that the name of the new chief minister would be announced on Monday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bharatiya Janata Party President Amit Shah and party Executive President J.P. Nadda in a meeting on Tuesday decided to ask Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to put his resignation.
Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde on Tuesday said Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis should resign as the Uddhav Thackeray's party-led coalition has the support of "162 MLAs" to prove majority in the Maharashtra Assembly. He claimed that during the floor test, the 'Maha Vikas Aghadi' of the Sena, NCP and Congress will have the support of "170 legislators".
The BJP on Tuesday said the floor test in Maharashtra assembly on Wednesday will establish the position of different parties in its entirety. Its national spokesperson Nalin Kohli also rejected the contention that the Supreme Court order on the floor test on Wednesday is a "setback" to the BJP, asserting that "no judicial pronouncement on issues of the Constitution can be a setback to any political party".
With the Supreme Court ordering a floor test on Wednesday (November 27) in the state, a key question that arose on Tuesday is - who will be the Pro-Tem Speaker of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly. The Governor B. S. Koshyari will be required to appoint and swear-in the Pro-Tem Speaker, who, in turn, will administer the oath of office to all the newly-elected MLAs of the 14th Legislative Assembly.
Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi welcomed the Supreme Court's order to hold a floor test in Maharashtra within 24 hours or by tomorrow. Gandhi also expressed confidence that Maha Vikas Aghadi would emerge victorious with the support of their MLAs.
Amid ongoing post-election twists and turns in Maharashtra, Congress leader Ahmed Patel on Monday expressed confidence asserting that things were under control in the state and signalled victory of the 'Maha Vikas Aghadi' alliance comprising the Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party and Congress during the floor test in the Assembly.
Attacking BJP government in Maharashtra, Congress party said the BJP and Ajit Pawar, who broke away with NCP to be part of Maharashtra government, were running away from the floor test. Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala also alleged that BJP misused the office of Governor. Surjewala claimed that the NCP-Congress-Shiv Sena combine has a majority in the state Assembly.
As Saturday morning brought surprise and amazement to many with a 180-degree-turnaround in the Maharashtra politics, it once again reinforced the fact that Amit Anilchandra Shah is the undisputed 'Chanakya', when it comes to Indian politics.
