BJP'S DEVENDRA FADNAVIS WAS SWORN IN AS MAHARASHTRA CHIEF MINISTER AND NCP'S AJIT PAWAR AS HIS DEPUTY
BJP Devendra Fadnavis administered the oath to the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and NCP's Ajit Pawar in the morning political strike, which shocked the Shiv Sena and the Congress.
The Chief Minister was "unanimously" hours after the Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress passed NCP chief Sharad Pawar, with the ultimate intention of forming a new coalition government with Uddhav Thackeray.
"I want to thank Ajit Pawar ji of NCP, he took this decision to give a stable government in Maharashtra and join BJP. Some other leaders also came with us and we claimed to form the government. "Fadnavis said soon after the swearing-in."
Sharad Pawar's nephew Ajit said, 'I took this decision because the discussion of the alliance of the three parties Congress, NCP and Shiv Sena was not over. There was a need to provide a stable government in Maharashtra
Even speculating whether Ajit did it with senior Pawar's secret blessings, he tweeted that the nephew acted on his own.
Ajit Pawar's decision to support the BJP to form the Government of Maharashtra is his personal decision and not the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). We say on record that we do not support or endorse his decision, ”Sharad Pawar tweeted.
Shiv Sena's Sanjay Raut, who was the most vocal on the proposed alliance, said that Shiv Sena chief Thackeray was in touch with senior Pawar, and Ajit supported them all.
"Ajit Pawar has supported the people of Maharashtra. The BJP has once again misused the governor's office for power. It is against the credibility of the democracy of the country," Sanjay Raut said.
There is no immediate clarity on how many NCP MLAs were supporting Ajit Pawar, although reports said that 29 MLAs had signed letters of support to the governor.
Details of the plan that went behind the move were revealed later when the report stated that Fadnavis and Pawar took over after President's rule, imposed in the state a fortnight ago, which was canceled at 5.47 am.
According to a Home Ministry notification, President Ram Nath Kovind signed a declaration to repeal the Union rule this morning. Gazette notification to this effect was issued by Union Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla at 5.47 am.
