Azad Maidan in Mumbai, just across from the BMC headquarters, is set to witness an electrifying gathering this evening as Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrives to preside over the swearing-in of the newly elected BJP-led Mahayuti government in Maharashtra.
The event, slated for 5:30 pm, will mark a significant political moment, with only Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and two deputy chief ministers taking their oaths at this stage.
The event promises to be grand and is expected to host around 2,000 VVIPS and an estimated 40,000 BJP supporters-a testament to the political clout and support Fadnavis commands. Full de tails regarding the cabinet composition and portfolio as signments are expected to be finalized later.
FINAL CABINET: While Fadnavis prepares to step into the role of chief minister for the third time, the final cabinet blueprint remains uncertain.
Earlier on Wednesday morning, the political drama in Maharashtra, spanning over 11 days, reached its conclusion with the BJP leadership naming Devendra Fadnavis as its choice for Chief Minister. The announcement came after an intense period of speculation following the Mahayuti alliance's decisive victory in the state assembly elections held on November 20.
The air was thick with anticipation as party leaders, stakeholders, and even the public waited for clarity on who would lead India's financial capital into its next chapter.
