Shinde ready to become Deputy CM
According to sources, Eknath Shinde has agreed to become the Deputy Chief Minister in the Mahayuti government. The change is an unexpected move from Shinde, as the Shiv Sena chief, who was earlier reluctant to become deputy chief minister under Fadnavis, has now accepted the role. At the same time, according to sources, BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis is ready to become the Chief Minister. Shinde, Fadnavis and NCP leader Ajit Pawar will take oath at a grand swearing-in ceremony to be held in Mumbai on December 5.
