Mumbai, 4th Dec. Senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis is set to be sworn in as the new Chief Minister of Maharashtra on Thursday, according to sources. The announcement follows the finalization of his name in a core committee meeting of the BJP held on Wednesday, ahead of the Maharashtra legislature party meeting. Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, former Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani, and Fadnavis were present during the key meeting.
The BJP has appointed Sitharaman and Rupani as central observers for the legislature party meeting.
Prior to this, BJP leader Sudhir Mungantiwar confirmed that Mahayuti coalition partners will meet with Governor C.P. Radhakrishnan at 3:30 PM on Wednesday to stake their claim for forming a new government.
The BJP had a historic success in the November 20 Maharashtra elections, securing 132 out of 288 assembly seats. With its allies—Shiv Sena (led by Eknath Shinde) and Ajit Pawar’s NCP—the BJP-led Mahayuti coalition now holds a commanding majority of 230 seats.
