Maharashtra. After the selection of Devendra Fadnavis as the leader of Maharashtra BJP legislature party, all the leaders of Mahayuti have staked claim to form the government. Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde, BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, NCP chief Ajit Pawar met Governor CP Radhakrishnan and staked claim to form the government in the state.
During this, all the leaders including BJP’s central observer Nirmala Sitharaman and Vijay Rupani were present. Speaking to the media, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said, “We met the Governor and submitted a letter of support to stake claim to form the government in the state. Our alliance partners Shiv Sena and NCP have requested the Governor to swear me in as the Chief Minister of Mahayuti. The Governor has accepted the request and he has invited us for the swearing-in ceremony tomorrow at 5.30 pm.”
The swearing-in ceremony of the new government will take place in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Addressing the BJP legislature party meeting, Nirmala Sitharaman said, “I congratulate all the elected MLAs. I congratulate Devendra Fadnavis on being elected as the leader of the legislative party. The mandate of 14 crore voters in this election is a message for the whole of India. This was no ordinary assembly election.
After the Lok Sabha elections, the citizens of the country have given a clear mandate through Haryana elections and then Maharashtra elections. The unexpected and unprecedented victory in Maharashtra is a big message towards developed India.” As soon as BJP leaders unanimously elected Devendra Fadnavis as the leader of the legislature party, slogans of ‘Deva Bhau, go ahead’ started being raised.
