Maharashtra will finally have a new Chief Minister, first from the Shiv Sena in the last 20 years, with Uddhav Thackeray set to take oath at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park today. Thursday's swearing-in follows days of dramatic political developments, including a three-day government formed by unexpected support from NCP leader Ajit Pawar, who has since returned to the Sharad Pawar-led party fold. While the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) will get deputy chief minister's post in the new Sena-led Maharashtra government, the Congress is likely to get Assembly Speaker's post.
