JP leader Devendra Fadnavis was sworn in as the 21st Chief Minister of Maharashtra, while Shiv Sena's Eknath Shinde and NCP's Ajit Pawar took oath as Deputy Chief Ministers on Thursday, ending the prolonged suspense over ministry formation in the wake of the Mahayuti alliance's massive victory in the state.
This was the third time that Mr Fadnavis took oath as Maharashtra chief minister.
The swearing-in ceremony took place at the historic Azad Maidan ground here in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, BJP president J P Nadda, and others.
It is the result of almost two weeks of hectic negotiations among the Mahayuti parties after the results of the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections were declared on 23 November.
Shortly after the ceremony, Mr Fadnavis, and his two deputies held a Cabinet meeting.
Mr Fadnavis later addressed mediapersons at the sixth floor of the Mantralaya, the state secretariat.
