MORE THAN 10 days after the Mahayuti swept the Maharashtra elections, the suspense is finally over. At 5.30 pm on Thursday, Devendra Fadnavis will be sworn in as Chief Minister at Mumbai's historic Azad Maidan. While it is confirmed that Ajit Pawar will be taking oath as Deputy CM along with him, Eknath Shinde is also likely to, though a confirmation is still awaited.
In another indication that the negotiations between Mahayuti partners BJP, Shiv Sena and NCP are still continuing, no other leader will be taking oath for now. Maharashtra can have a ministry of 43 members.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who helped pull off the BJP's historic 132-seat win in Maharashtra, will be present for the swearing-in.
