GUWAHATI: In a major twist of politics, hours after Ajit Pawar of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) pledged support to the Shiv Sena along with the Congress, BJP's Devendra Fadnavis took oath as Chief Minister in the early hours of Saturday.
In his speach, Devendra Fadnavis said, "Maharashtra needed a stable government, not a khichidi shaasan (mishmash government)," Mr Fadnavis said after taking oath, adding that the Shiv Sena "did not follow people's mandate."
It is to be mentioned that President's rule was revoked at 5.47 AM to facilitate the sudden oath ceremony.
According to a Home Ministry notification, President Ram Nath Kovind issued the proclamation for revocation of the central rule early this morning.
