November 01, 2014 10:28

The new Bharatiya Janata Party government in Maharashtra takes charge today.

Devendra Fadnavis, BJP's first CM in the state, will hold his first cabinet meet at 11 am today.

The cabinet will decide on dates to hold a special session to prove majority. Fadnavis heads a minority government and has to prove his strength on the floor of the assembly within 15 days.

The BJP is in talks with the Shiv Sena to renew the 25-year alliance they snapped in September. The NCP has offered external support to the BJP, but the latter will be wary to accept or count on it.
