Guwahati: Former Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis will replace Uddhav Thackeray as CM on Friday (July 1), said sources from BJP. Shiv Sena rebel leader Eknath Shinde is most likely to serve as deputy chief minister in the future administration.
According to reports, the BJP would lay claim to forming the government with the help of Independent MLAs and the Shinde faction. The CM and the Deputy CM will then take an oath.
The election for Speaker will take place following the creation of the new government. Reports further stated that the Shinde group would probably be acknowledged as the Shiv Sena parliamentary party.
The assembly would then elect their whip as the following stage. The Cabinet will then be expanded once the Governor gives them time to convene a vote of confidence.
According to sources, the entire government formation procedure will probably be finished by July 11.
