Mumbai : BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra for the third time on Thursday at Azad Maidan in Mumbai. Former Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and NCP leader Ajit Pawar took the oath as Deputy Chief Ministers. The oath-taking ceremony was conducted by Governor C P Radhakrishnan.

The event was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, several BJP Chief Ministers, and leaders from the Mahayuti alliance, which includes the BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP. Notable figures such as Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, and industrialists Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani were also present.

“Other members of the cabinet will likely take oath before the Winter Session of the Assembly starts,” BJP leader Sudhir Mungantiwar had confirmed earlier in the day.

In recently concluded Maharashtra Assembly polls, the BJP-led Mahayuti coalition, comprising the Shiv Sena under Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar’s NCP, holds a strong majority with 230 seats.
