Devendra Fadnavis to be Chief Minister of Maharashtra…BJP breaks many records by announcing name

Bharatiya Janata Party has decided to make Devendra Fadnavis the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, ending the 11-day long suspense. Fadnavis, who was elected as the MLA from Nagpur South-West constituency, will be sworn in as the Maharashtra Chief Minister for the third time on behalf of the BJP. By making Fadnavis the Chief Minister, the BJP has broken many achievements of Maharashtra and itself. Read these posts in detail in this special story… For the first time in 46 years of Maharashtra politics, a deputy chief minister has bagged the chair. So far the ministerial chair has been available. In 1978, Nashik Rao Thripude was appointed Deputy Chief Minister for the first time in the Vasantada Patil government. Thripude was the big leader of Peet then, but he could not reach the post of Chief Minister. Same thing happened to Sundarrao Solange. He became the Deputy Chief Minister in the Sarath Pawar Cabinet, but Sundar Rao was the Deputy Chief Minister. He too could not reach the Chief Minister's chair. Ramadas Adhee, who was the deputy chief minister, also could not make it to the chief minister's chair. The names of Chagan Bhujpal, Gopinath Munde, Vijay Patil and RR Patil also feature in the list. These leaders were also Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra at different times and strong contenders for Chief Minister post in their time but could not reach the post of Chief Minister. Ajit Pawar, who served as the deputy chief minister for the longest time, has not yet become the chief minister. Breaking the 72-hour rule in Chief Ministerial selection: For the first time, there has been a surprise entry wherever the BJP has taken more than 72 hours to select the Chief Minister. It took 9 days to elect Yogi Adityanath as the Chief Minister of UP in 2017. Similarly, in Rajasthan also in 2023, it took 9 days to make Bhajanlal Sharma the Chief Minister. It took 7 days when Fadnavis was sworn in as Chief Minister for the first time. At that time there was the sudden entry of Fadnavis. This time, the BJP took 11 days to choose the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, but the party has issued an order for the name that was under discussion. In other words, BJP has broken the 72-hour rule for Chief Minister election in Maharashtra. Pawar-Naik and Patil's record broken: Only 3 leaders in Maharashtra have achieved the Chief Ministership three times. It includes the names of Sarath Pawar, Vasantada Patil and Sarath Pawar. All the three chief ministers belong to the Congress. Vasantrao Naik was the Chief Minister during the years 1963-1967, 1967-1972 and 1972-1975. Vasantada Patil also became Chief Minister three times. Similarly, Sharad Pawar also got the opportunity to hold the post of Chief Minister three times at different times. BJP has also broken this record by giving the chair to Fadnavis for the third time. Fadnavis is the first non-Congressman to hold the post of Chief Minister for three terms. Fadnavis took office as Chief Minister for 5 years for the first term and for 5 days for the second term. Devendra Fadnavis, who hails from the Brahmin community, has got a third term as Chief Minister. Before Fadnavis, Manohar Joshi was the Brahmin Chief Minister of Maharashtra, but Joshi managed to reach the post of Chief Minister only once. Devendra Fadnavis is set to take office as Chief Minister for the third time. BJP is the first party in Maharashtra to give a third consecutive term to a Brahmin face as Chief Minister.
