Ambanis take centrestage at Uddhav swearing-in

November 28, 2019 21:26

BJP state president Chandrakant Patil listens-in as former Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis and RIL boss and Rahul Gandhi's favourite whipping boy (remember his suit-boot sarkar taunt in 2015) Mukesh Ambani. Nita Ambani seems lost in thought. Their younger son, Anant, was also at event. To the right of the picture are the new ministers -- Congress party's Nitin Raut and Balasaheb Thorat.

Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray was on Thursday sworn-in as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra by Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari at a grand ceremony held at the Shivaji Park.

Uddhav is the first member of the Thackeray family to become the Chief Minister and the third Shiv Sena leader to hold the top post after Manohar Joshi and Narayan Rane.

He is leading a government of the Maha Vikas Aghadi, an alliance of Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), and Congress.

Ajit had resigned as the deputy chief minister in the Devendra Fadnavis government on Monday, three days after he took the oath of the office as Deputy Chief Minister of the state.
