ANI photo The month-long political drama in Maharashtra ended on Tuesday (November 26) with the Shiv Sena-Nationalist Congress Party-Congress MLAs electing Uddhav Thackeray as the chief ministerial face of Maha Vikas Aghadi. The Shiv Sena supremo also staked his claim to form the government in Maharashtra before Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari and he is scheduled to take oath on Thursday (November 28) at Shivaji Park. Speculations are rife that Congress leader Balasaheb Thorat and NCP leader Jayant Patil will also take oath on Thursday as deputy chief ministers of Maharashtra.
A few hours earlier, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Devendra Fadnavis stepped down as the chief minister after admitting that he does not have majority in Maharashtra assembly. Fadnavis decided to resign after NCP leader Ajit Pawar quit as the deputy CM, more than three days after dramatically extending support to the BJP. This development took place hours after the Supreme Court ordered a floor test in the state assembly.
The newly-elected MLAs took oath on Wednesday (November 27). BJP leader Kalidas Kolambkar, who was elected Pro-tem Speaker of the Maharashtra Assembly on Tuesday, addministered the oath to the MLAs inside Assembly.

It's a new morning. The dream came true. We will work for Maharashtra: Supriya Sule
NCP leader Supriya Sule welcomes cousin Ajit Pawar with a hug at the oath-taking ceremony.
Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari has called a special session of the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday where 288 newly-elected MLAs will be administered oath by pro-tem Speaker Kalidas Kolambkar. The session will begin at 8 am.
Why should BJP get so desperate for power in Maharashtra? Though we showed the tally of 162 MLAs, their efforts to prove us wrong were hate-worthy. Now, the Fadnavis government has run away without even facing the majority test. No other government or political party was insulted so much in Maharashtra. Ajit Pawar stopped his ‘vastraharan’ in the last stage, but BJP stands completely naked now. An arrogant rampage has stopped in Maharashtra. Now everything will be auspicious: Shiv Sena said in its mouthpiece Saamana
Maharashtra has refused to buckle under pressure and MLAs have retained their self-respect: Shiv Sena in Saamana
