Devendra Fadnavis dials Uddhav Thackeray, Sharad Pawar after taking oath as Maharashtra CM: How they responded

Live Mint  

Devendra Fadnavis took oath as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra on Thursday with Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar as his deputies. The senior BJP leader later revealed that he had garnered good wishes from all quarters — including political rivals Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar. Most prominent opposition leaders were conspicuous by their absence at the glittering event and Fadnavis also reiterated allegations Thackeray had "backstabbed" the BJP following the 2019 elections. The assertions came even as Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut claimed that Shinde was compelled to take oath as Deputy CM because the BJP top brass planned to go ahead with the swearing-in if he continued being “stubborn”. …We have a full majority, so I don’t think Uddhav Thackeray is needed…He has put a green chadar on him, I am sure his workers feel suffocated," Fadnavis added.
