Find out all about Devendra Fadnavis’s swearing-in as Maharashtra's CM for the third time! What’s the buzz?

Maharashtra is buzzing with excitement as Devendra Fadnavis is all set to take the oath of Chief Minister for the third time on December 5, 2024! After an electrifying victory with the Mahayuti coalition, Fadnavis, a prominent figure in the BJP, has earned yet another chance to lead the state. The ceremony is expected to take place at the historic Azad Maidan in Mumbai with a grand presence of political heavyweights including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and NCP leader Ajit Pawar stepping into the deputy CM role alongside Fadnavis.

Fadnavis's political journey is nothing short of a captivating story! From his days navigating the intricacies of local governance to his undying commitment to Maharashtra's development, he has proven to be a master strategist. His return comes after a brief stint where he initially served from 2014 to 2019 and then a dramatic 80-day comeback, making this not just another term but also a fascinating chapter in Maharashtra's political saga. His focus on stability and coalition dynamics will be crucial in steering Maharashtra through its challenges.

Interestingly, Fadnavis's name on the official invitation for the swearing-in ceremony sparked a unique surprise, being listed as "Devendra Sarita Gangadharrao Fadnavis"—a head-turning twist that got everyone talking! The duality of Fadnavis is not just limited to his professional life but extends to the rich tapestry of his family history. His father was an MLC, and his wife works as a banker, reflecting a blend of political and professional expertise, giving the family a well-rounded perspective to address Maharashtra's pressing issues.

As Fadnavis sets the stage for his new government, the Resident Evil-level political intrigue continues, especially around Eknath Shinde, who has been a significant player in the coalition government's formation. What lies ahead for Maharashtra? Only time will tell, but if history is anything to go by, Fadnavis's knack for turning challenges into opportunities could make this term one for the history books! With focus areas including the elusive goal of Maratha reservation and economic development, there’s never a dull moment in the life of a Maharashtra CM.
