Who’s coming swearing-in ceremony of BJP-led government in Maharashtra?, Prime Minister, the event’s star attraction
While swearing-in ceremonies for chief ministers are normally official occasions involving a lot of protocol, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is leaving no stone unturned to turn the coronation ceremony of its first chief minister in Maharashtra a grand event high on symbolism and glitz.
Departing from protocol, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the event’s star attraction, will be seated on a special dais erected on the left of the main dais, where CM-designate Devendra Fadnavis and his cabinet will be sworn in by Governor CH Vidyasagar Rao.

Besides Modi, at least six Union Cabinet Ministers including Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari, Minister for Chemical and Fertilisers Ananth Kumar, Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javdekar, and Consumer Affairs and Food and Public Distribution minister of state Raosaheb Danve will attend the oath-taking ceremony at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium.
BJP national president Amit Shah, party’s general secretaries JP Nadda and Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Chief Minister of BJP-ruled states – Manohar Parrikar (Goa), Shivraj Chouhan (Madhya Pradesh), Anandiben Patel (Gujarat), Raman Singh (Chattisgarh), and Vasundhara Raje (Rajasthan), will add to the event’s star power.
According to information, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu (Telugu Desam Party), and Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal (Shiromani Akali Dal) are also expected to be present at the event. At the time of filing this report, the state’s protocol department was yet to get a confirmation from the BJP regarding the attendance of BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani.

But, BJP sources said that the party veteran, who had remained present for Khattar’s swearing in, is expected to attend the ceremony. Giving a touch of glamour to the event, the BJP has sent invites to who’s who in Bollywood. Top corporates and leading sportspersons from Maharashtra are expected to remain present too.
As reported first by The Indian Express, the event will be a break from tradition with a cultural show by renowned artist Ashok Hande preceding the official swearing-in ceremony. For more saffron flavour, 25 fishing boats will be bobbing along the Arabian Sea just off Wankhede Stadium, with a giant cut off of a lotus at the centre and BJP flags on the deck.
The BJP has roped in popular Bollywood set designer Nitin Desai and event organiser Ravi Savla for the planning, design and construction of the stages, barricades and for the decor at the event. Protocol issues Though the swearing-in has its own protocol, Maharashtra protocol department and Raj Bhavan officials will have to deal with extra-ordinary protocol issues as well.
While the Governor normally enjoys top most protocol for such event, Prime Minister and the Union Home Minister enjoy higher protocol. New Cabinet to meet after swearing-in Immediately after the swearing-in, CM-designate Devendra Fadnavis will hold a cabinet meeting, where a resolution to hold a three-day special session of the state legislature beginning November 4 will be formalised.
The BJP government will take the floor test in the state assembly on November 6. Fadnavis will hold an interaction with the press, where he is expected to announce his agenda for Maharashtra. Symbolism Before his oath taking, Fadnavis is expected to pay homage to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s statue in Mumbai’s Worli. The BJP is expected to invoke Maratha warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji at the ceremony itself. Immediately after the swearing-in, Fadnavis and his newly sworn in cabinet team will garland the Shivaji statue near Mantralaya.
