TNN, Mumbai :
A 10-member BJP ministry led by Devendra Fadnavis was sworn in here on Friday at a lavish ceremony at the Wankhede Stadium.
The Cabinet ministers sworn in are: BJP core committee members Eknath Khadse, Sudhir Mungantiwar, Vinod Tawde and Pankaja Munde, former Mumbai BJP president Prakash Mehta, tribal leader from neighbouring Palghar district Vishnu Sawra, and Chandrakant Patil.
Besides, Dilip Kamble and Vidya Thakur are being sworn in as ministers of state.
Earlier on Friday, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray agreed to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Devendra Fadnavis as Maharashtra chief minister after a last-minute call from BJP president Amit Shah inviting him to the event. Reaching out to a sulking Shiv Sena, Shah’s call to Uddhav came a day after the Sena announced its boycott of the grand swearing-in ceremony of Fadnavis on grounds of its “constant humiliation” by BJP over government formation.
