Mumbai, Nov 23: After taking oath as Maharashtra Chief Minister for the second consecutive term, Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday said that Maharashtra does not need a Khichdi government anymore, but needs a stable government.
"People had given us a clear mandate, but Shiv Sena tried to ally with other parties after results. As a result, President's rule was imposed. Maharashtra needed a stable govt not a 'khichdi' government," Fadnavis told ANI.
NCP's Ajit Pawar took oath as deputy chief minister of Maharashtra and BJP, with 105 seats, forged alliance with the NCP which bagged 54 seats to garner the majority figure.
The surprise move happened when Congress, NCP and Shiv Sena were about to reach the final stage on Friday. Even, the NCP supremo, Sharad Pawar on Friday claimed that there was a consensus on Sena chief, Uddhav Thackeray as chief minister of the alliance government.
