Devendra Fadnavis set to be Maharashtra's19th CM

[Dinesh jain]

Bharatiya Janata Party's Devendra Fadnavis on
Tuesday was elected the party's chief
ministerial nominee.
Party MLAs met the Governor C Vidyasagar
Rao in the evening and staked a claim to form
the government. He will be the first BJP leader
to become the chief minister of Maharashtra.
The decision on his appointment was taken at
the BJP legislature party meeting on Tuesday
in Mumbai.
Fadnavis, who is also the state BJP chief, was
elected for the CM's post in the presence of
the central observers, Union Home Minister
Rajnath Singh and party general secretary JP
Nadda.
On October 20, Fadnavis won the Maharashtra
Assembly polls handsomely from Nagpur South
West constituency and was tipped for the post.
But bids for the CM's post from former Leader
of Opposition in the state assembly Eknath
Khadse, and Parli constituency winner Pankaja
Munde added a twist to the race.
BJP leader Nitin Gadkari, who's also from
Vidarbha, was also in contention for the post
till he opted out saying he wanted to continue
his work at the Centre.
