Shiv Sena's Eknath Shinde and NCP's Ajit Pawar took oath as Deputy Chief Ministers

Fadnavis takes oath as 21st Maharashtra CM

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.

Prescription for Politics

Political parties ~ the crucial link between citizens and government ~ have so far prioritised winnability alone, for reasons obvious in a democracy, while giving scant regard to what is equally obvious ~ if not more vital ~ political credibility. Since the quality of the legislature is crucial to a healthy political culture, the larger question is whether parties will have the courage to deny tickets to unscrupulous candidates, however electable they may appear, and instead field those who embody integrity and bring fresh perspectives to public life
