Maharashtra CM suspense News
BJP announced the date of swearing-in—December 5 at Azad Maidan, but the statement has not been able to shush the murmurs of discontent within Mahayuti camp.
The new Mahayuti government is set to be sworn in on December 5 at Azad Maidan in Mumbai, Maharashtra BJP unit said.
Even after the meeting with Amit Shah, there was no clarity on his candidacy. This has led to discussions about whether the BJP may introduce a new face for the CM position.
While the BJP will retain the Chief Minister's post in Maharashtra, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has reportedly approved the appointment of two Deputy Chief Ministers.
The decision on 43 other cabinet berths and portfolio distribution among the three alliance members of Mahayuti (BJP, Shiv Sena, NCP) is yet to be finalised.
In the Maharashtra polls, the BJP handed a crushing defeat to the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), the opposition alliance of the Congress and the Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar factions of the Sena and NCP, winning 132 (of 288) Assembly seats on its own and 235 with its allies.
The governor requested Shinde to serve as the caretaker chief minister until a new CM is appointed.
