Last few days have been tumultuous for Maharashtra politics. In just a matter of a few days, the state has a new Chief Minister and a whole new cabinet.
Shiv Sena rebel Eknath Shinde took the oath as the CM on Thursday. On the other hand, Devendra Fadnavis, who was the leader of the opposition in the state assembly is now the Deputy CM. The new Shiv Sena-BJP government will have to face a floor test on July 4, to prove their majority in the house.
Before that, the elections for the post of Assembly Speaker may take place on July 3. BJP’s Rahul Narvekar has filed the nomination for the post. Interestingly, the post has stayed vacant since February 2022 when Nana Patole resigned from it.
