Maharashtra , December 04, 2024.
Senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis is scheduled to be sworn in as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra on December 5 after members of the core committee finalised his name during a meeting on Wednesday.
Party senior leaders including Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani and Fadnavis were present in today’s BJP’s core committee meeting.
On Tuesday, Fadnavis met with Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde at his official residence, ‘Varsha,’ marking their first in-person meeting since their discussions in Delhi last week on government formation.
Although the details of the hour-long meeting remain unclear, political observers interpret it as an attempt by the BJP to reach out to an ally considering its options, while others believe it may have been a preliminary discussion regarding the swearing-in ceremony scheduled for December 5.
