Erstwhile 'Shivsainik', now 'Secular', the first ever Thackrey takes charge as CM; Real, rare moments here!

Mumabi, November 29: Day after the swearing in ceremony, Shivsena's leader Uddhva Thackrey assumed his office as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra on Friday. He was welcomed at the CMO in a traditional way.

 

Also this comes on the day when the Supreme Court observed that there cannot be restrictions on alliances between political parties in a democracy, dismissing a plea by a Hindu Mahasabha leader challenging the post-poll alliance in Maharashtra between Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress.

 

After taking oath as the new chief minister of Maharashtra, Uddhav Thackeray expressed his gratitude to the gathering and to the Maratha warrior Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Breaching the faith of public by demeaning the mandate given by the janta to ‘BJP-Shiv Sena’ alliance, the later blatantly disrespected the decision and joined hands with Congress.

 

While the ‘Maha Vikas Aghadi’ formed the Common Minimum Programme, let’s see how far these promises are fulfilled by the Khichadi government. Looking at it, the government promises to eliminate social, educational and economic backwardness of the minority community.

 

 

Food at Rs 10 for the state’s common people and severe punishment for violators of the food and drug regulations were promised. Along with this, two coordination committees will be constituted; one for coordination within the Maharashtra Cabinet and the other for coordination among the alliance partners.

 

 

The Shiv Sena and Bharatiya Janata Party had secured a majority in last month’s elections but the BJP insisted that Devendra Fadnavis would serve as chief minister for the next five years. The Sena wanted the chief minister’s post to be shared between the two parties.
