Following his swearing-in, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis issued the following statement: "No more shocks."

Devendra Fadnavis, the newly appointed chief minister of Maharashtra, promised to establish a stable government for the ensuing five years.

Following his third swearing-in as Maharashtra chief minister, Devendra Fadnavis told reporters Thursday night that he would provide a stable government for the next five years and that the state would experience politics of change rather than retaliation under his leadership.

Since 2019, Maharashtra has had significant political changes. Following the assembly election, the Bharatiya Janata Party-Shiv Sena alliance disintegrated, and the Congress, NCP, and Shiv Sena formed the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government. The MVA was overthrown in 2022 after Shiv Sena was split by Eknath Shinde's mutiny. Eknath Shinde became chief minister after joining the BJP. On December 5, Devendra Fadnavis was reinstated as chief minister following the recent Maharashtra election.

"A lot of changes occurred between 2019 and the middle of 2022. Devendra Fadnavis was quoted by NDTV as saying, "We hope that there are no more similar shocks in the future."

"There will be politics of change and not revenge," he insisted.

The Mahayuti government, according to Fadnavis, will be a people-oriented administration that operates transparently and quickly advances the state's development.

Regarding the Maharashtra assembly's leader of the opposition

According to him, the new speaker, not the government, will settle the matter of the Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Maharashtra legislature, where the Maha Vikas Aghadi has fewer than 50 members in the 288-member body.

He noted that the leader of the major political party had been granted all authority in the Lok Sabha when the main opposition party lacked the numbers for the LoP position.

Who will finance portfolios and go home?
"They will be with our government," the CM replied, avoiding a straight response when asked who would receive the important home and finance portfolios.

Additionally, he dismissed reports that Eknath Shinde, the leader of the first Mahayuti government who was not given a second term as chief minister, was unhappy.

"Shinde immediately agreed to my request to join the government," Fadnavis stated. "The main leader has to be a part of the government to ensure smooth functioning," he stated.

After becoming deputy chief minister under Eknath Shinde in the first Mahayuti government, he stated, "Roles may have changed, but focus and direction remain the same," when he was appointed chief minister.

Regarding the Ladki Bahin Yoja
Devendra Fadnavis, the chief minister of Maharashtra, promised that his government would carry out Mahayuti's pre-election pledge to increase the monthly stipend for qualified women under the Ladki Bahin Yojana from the current ₹1,500 to ₹2,100.

A special Maharashtra assembly session

During a three-day extraordinary session of the house that starts on December 7 in Mumbai, Fadnavis said that a new assembly speaker would be elected on December 9.

The chief minister further stated that the new cabinet, which presently consists of deputy chief ministers Ajit Pawar (NCP) and Eknath Shinde (Shiv Sena), will be enlarged prior to the state legislature's winter session, which is scheduled for Nagpur later this month.
