In a significant development for Maharashtra politics, Devendra Fadnavis, the newly appointed Chief Minister-designate, has confirmed that the swearing-in ceremony of the new government will take place tomorrow at 5:30 pm. The ceremony will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, marking a momentous occasion for the state.
In a statement made earlier today, Fadnavis expressed his optimism regarding the formation of the new government, confirming that discussions are ongoing about the inclusion of key figures in the cabinet. “By evening, we will finalize who will take the oath tomorrow,” Fadnavis remarked, indicating that the final decisions on the ministerial appointments would be made soon.
Key Talks with Eknath Shinde
Fadnavis also revealed that he had met Eknath Shinde, a prominent leader within the Mahayuti alliance, earlier in the day. Fadnavis requested Shinde to join the government, acknowledging the widespread sentiment among Mahayuti workers for Shinde’s inclusion in the cabinet. Fadnavis expressed full confidence that Shinde would be part of the government, saying, “I have full faith that he will be with us.”
The potential inclusion of Shinde is seen as a crucial move in maintaining party unity within the Mahayuti alliance, which has garnered significant support from various regional factions. Shinde’s leadership and political influence are viewed as integral to the success of the new government, with both Fadnavis and Shinde having strong roots within Maharashtra’s political landscape.
Promises to the People of Maharashtra
As Fadnavis gears up for his second tenure as Chief Minister, he reiterated his commitment to fulfilling the promises made to the people of Maharashtra during the election campaign. “We will fulfill the promises made to the people of Maharashtra,” Fadnavis assured the public, emphasizing that the new government would prioritize the welfare of the people while addressing the pressing issues facing the state.
The swearing-in ceremony is expected to be a significant event, with a wide array of political leaders, dignitaries, and supporters in attendance. The ceremony will mark the official beginning of the new government, led by Fadnavis, and set the tone for the administration’s plans and policies moving forward.
Awaiting Further Developments
With only hours left until the swearing-in, political observers are closely watching the developments, particularly regarding the composition of the cabinet and the key portfolios to be assigned to the ministers. The decision to include prominent leaders such as Shinde is expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the government’s direction and in consolidating the support of the Mahayuti alliance.
As Maharashtra prepares for this significant transition, all eyes will be on the swearing-in ceremony tomorrow evening, marking a fresh chapter in the state’s political landscape under Devendra Fadnavis’ leadership.
