Ajit Pawar, Devendra Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde.
Maharashtra government was formed in Maharashtra, led by CM Devendra Fadnavis. Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde and NCP leader Ajit Pawar have been appointed deputy chief ministers. Affidavits were submitted to 39 ministers ahead of the winter session of Parliament on December 15, but even after nearly a week, the ministers’ responsibilities have not yet been allocated. Sectoral feuding among Mahayut’s allies is believed to be to blame for the delay.

The winter session of the Maharashtra Legislature was adjourned indefinitely on Saturday. Fadnavis said this time that divisional demarcation may take place tonight or tomorrow morning.
