Cong to get Maharashtra assembly speaker’s post; Dy speaker to be from NCP
-
MUMBAI/NEW DELHI: After weeks of high drama, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray is set to take the oath to become the next Chief Minister of Maharashtra on Thursday.
The state will have a Chief Minister from the Shiv Sena after 20 years, with Uddhav, 59, being sworn in for the top post in an evening ceremony at the sprawling Shivaji Park where his father and Sena founder Bal Thackeray addressed his famous Dussehra rallies.
Thursday’s swearing-in ceremony follows days of dramatic political developments, which included a three-day government formed by unexpected support from NCP leader Ajit Pawar, who has since returned to the Sharad Pawar-led party fold.
There is speculation that Ajit Pawar, who was present at a party meeting here on Wednesday after meeting the NCP chief on Tuesday night, maybe inducted in the new Cabinet.
