"The leaders will present their claim to establish a Maharashtra government," Mungantiwar stated.
Maharashtra CM to take oath on December 5
The developments are taking place as Azad Maidan in Mumbai preps for the grand swearing-in ceremony that will cap the BJP-led Mahayuti's mammoth victory in the state polls. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a number of Union Ministers, party officials, and chief ministers from the party-ruled states will all be present at the massive ceremony at Azad Maidan in south Mumbai on December 5th, where the new chief minister will take the oath of office, according to the party's previous announcement.
