After the swearing in ceremony, Devendra Fadnavis expressed his gratitude to NCP's Ajit Pawar for taking the decision to form a stable government in Maharashtra and join hands with BJP. Ajit Pawar said that the decision was taken by him as the discussions between Congress, NCP and Shiv Sena went on pointlessly without a concluding decision.
