Shinde’s oath as Deputy CM comes after his pivotal role in the political realignment in the state, which led to the formation of the Mahayuti alliance. The ceremony, attended by numerous political leaders, also saw Devendra Fadnavis taking the oath as Chief Minister for the third time, marking a new chapter for the BJP-Shiv Sena-NCP coalition government in Maharashtra.
