Rebel Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde will take oath as the new Chief Minister of Maharashtra at 7:30 pm, said BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis.
The announcement came shortly after Fadnavis and rebel Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde meet Governor BS Koshyari at Raj Bhavan to stake a claim to form the government.
Fadnavis also announced that he will not be a part of the new cabinet that is likely to be sworn in in the coming week.
