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.

Sanjay Raut has been leading from the front while making efforts to ensure Shiv Sena takes the CM post by hook or by crook. Now, when they have come in alliance with Congress and NCP; also Uddhav Thackeray being nominated as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, the Shiv Sena leader has claimed that his work is now over.

The Supreme Court will be hearing a petition on Sunday filed by Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress against the Centre's move to end the President's rule in Maharashtra and invite Devendra Fadnavis to form the government in the state.

Hours after Devendra Fadnavis took oath as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and Ajit Pawar took oath as the Deputy CM, Bihar Deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi was all praise for the Union Home Minister Amit Shah, saying that he has once again proved that he is the 'real chanakya of Indian Politics'.

Attacking Ajit Pawar, who took oath as Deputy CM of Maharashtra on Saturday, NCP leader Nawab Malik said that the signatures have been misused. According to him the party had taken the signatures from MLAs for attendance which was later misused.

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.

Shiv Sena on Tuesday claimed that they are in talks with NCP (Nationalist Congress Party) and Congress to form the government in Maharshtra, regardless Sharad Pawar's comment that they have not talked to them about alliance yet.

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Sharad Pawar met Congress chief Sonia Gandhi at her home in Delhi on Monday evening and discussed the political twists and turns surrounding the Maharashtra politics.

Minutes after the President's rule was imposed in Maharashtra, Ministry of Home Affairs released a statement that it can be withdrawn if any party proves the majority to form the government.

Shiv Sena has moved to Supreme Court against Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari for not granting an extension to stake claim to form the government.
