Mumbai: In an unprecedented development in Maharashtra politics, Governor BS Koshyari earlier today administered the oath of office to Bharatiya Janata Party leader Devendra Fadnavis as the new Chief Minister of Maharashtra and Nationalist Congress Party leader Ajit Pawar as the new Chief Minister.

Nationalist Congress Party boss said the decision of his nephew Ajit Pawar to support the BJP to form the Maharashtra government was the latter’s personal decision and not that of his. “We place on record that we do not support or endorse this decision of his,” he tweeted.
