Devendra Fadnavis back as Maharashtra CM, ‘to work together’ with deputies Eknath Shinde, Ajit Pawar

The Hindu  

The Bharatiya Janata Party’s Legislature Party Leader Devendra Fadnavis was sworn in as the 21st Chief Minister of Maharashtra on Thursday evening in a grand ceremony witnessed by thousands at the Azad Maidan here. Radhakrishnan administered the oath of office and oath of secrecy to Mr. Fadnavis, who steered the BJP-led Mahayuti to victory in the State elections last month, in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, several Union Ministers, and Chief Ministers and Deputy Chief Ministers of NDA-ruled States. This marks the third time Mr. Fadnavis, 54, an MLA from Nagpur South-West, would occupy the Chief Minister’s office on the sixth floor of the Mantralaya. With the backing of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who famously called him “Nagpur’s gift to the country”, Mr. Fadnavis first became Chief Minister in 2014, becoming only the second Brahmin to hold the post after Shiv Sena’s Manohar Joshi, and the first from the BJP. Following the 2022 Shiv Sena split led by Mr. Shinde, many expected Mr. Fadnavis to return as Chief Minister.
