Temple town Shirdi in Maharashtra is observing bandh on Sunday against the remarks from the Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray which described Pathri in Parbhani as the 'birthplace' of 19-century saint Sai Baba.

In a grand ceremony arranged at the Mumbai's Shivaji Park, Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray took oath as the Maharashtra Chief Minister on Thursday evening.

In an early morning twist, BJP took out the powerful CM post right from the Shiv Sena's door and formed the government in Maharashtra in alliance with Sharad Pawar's NCP. Devendra Fadnavis took oath as the Maharashtra CM for the second consecutive term and NCP's Ajit Pawar took oath as the deputy CM of the state.

Uddhav Thackeray will be the Chief Minister of Shiv Sena-Nationalist Congress Party-Congress alliance government in Maharashtra, said Sharad Pawar after the late night meeting of the three parties.

Fifteen days after the results for Maharashtra Assembly Elections were announced; Devendra Fadnavis submitted his resignation from the Chief Minister post.
