Significantly, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis himself is an elected representative of the Nagpur South West constituency, which falls in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra.
The six-day winter session of the Maharashtra Assembly, which ended on Saturday ,has gone down in the annals of India's and Maharashtra's political history as unprecedented as not a single BJP-dominated Mahayuti minister's portfolio was announced even as the session ended.
Even after three weeks of intense and hectic negotiations and lobbying as well as the intervention of the BJP's top brass in Delhi, sources said on Saturday evening that the list of Maharashtra's cabinet ministers and ministers of state is yet to be finalised and will be given "final touches" only by Sunday morning.
Meanwhile, BJP's Central observers at a meeting of the BJP legislative party, former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, and Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, also reached the Raj Bhavan, where they all warmly welcomed by Governor CP Radhakrishnan.
Devendra Fadnavis will be officially declared BJP's CM candidate after the BJP Legislature Party meeting tomorrow.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the Mahayuti government in Maharashtra is working for the empowerment of all sections of society, claiming that its continued focus on the people has set it apart from the previous Aghadi government in the state.
“The biggest state which was duped was Maharashtra. All this was done by upending numerous established standard rules. This exposes massive corruption,” he said.
