Mumbai- Senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis will be sworn in as the chief minister of Maharashtra on Thursday, sources said.
His name was finalised in the BJP’s core committee meeting held here on Wednesday before its Maharashtra legislature party meet, they said.
Union minister Nirmala Sitharaman, former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani and Fadnavis were present in the BJP’s core committee meet.
The BJP has appointed Sitharaman and Rupani as central observers for its Maharashtra legislature party’s meeting.
Ahead of the legislature party meet, BJP leader Sudhir Mungantiwar said the Mahayuti partners will meet Governor C P Radhakrishnan at 3.30 pm on Wednesday to stake a claim to form a government in the state.
