This oath was administered by the Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari at Raj Bhawan today. Earlier this week, NCP chief Sharad Pawar met PM Modi over the farm crisis in Maharashtra, causing a buzz in the middle of intense political activity to form a government in the state.
The BJP, which emerged as the single largest party in the state elections last month, could not earlier stake claim to form a government after it could not reach an agreement with its former ally Shiv Sena on its “50:50” demand.
The BJP won 105 seats in the 288-member assembly followed by the Shiv Sena (56). The NCP won 54 seats and its Congress had won 44 seats.
