New Delhi, 4 December (H.S.): On December 5, Devendra Fadnavis is set to be sworn in as the chief minister of Maharashtra, after his name was finalized at the Bharatiya Janata Party's core committee meeting on Wednesday.

According to sources, Fadnavis was chosen as the new chief minister after intense discussions and deliberations within the party.

This decision comes after weeks of political drama and uncertainty in Maharashtra, with the previous coalition government collapsing due to differences between the Shiv Sena and BJP.

Fadnavis' appointment as chief minister is seen as a strategic move by the BJP to maintain its grip on power in the state.

However, this is still a developing story and more details are awaited as the situation in Maharashtra continues to evolve.
