The political saga in Maharashtra turned the attention of Congress leadership and his Savarkar remark put Rahul Gandhi in trouble.

As such voluntary move to step down would happen once in a blue moon when it comes to Governorship, Koshyari's wish to give up a constitutional role has become the talk of the nation. 

Among the appointments are the sons of Indian billionaires - Karan Adani, the son of India's richest man Gautam Adani and Anant Ambani, the son of India's second-richest man Mukesh Ambani. 

The police have arrested Sheezan on the charge of abetting her suicide in Maharashtra's Palghar district and later, he was sent to a four-day police custody.

The CCTV footage of the barbaric crime has gone viral on social media and a case has been registered against Mishra. 

The instruction, which drew national attention, was passed on to the state government employees and officers.

Moments after Shinde took over the baton, Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated him. Taking to Twitter, Modi wrote, "I would like to congratulate Shri Eknath Shinde Ji on taking oath as Maharashtra CM." 

When Fadnavis was asked to take over the baton as the next Chief Minister, he had refused to accept the offer and affirmed that he will stay out of the government. 

The surprise development has drawn huge attention and with the backing from the BJP MLAs, Shinde is all set to become the Chief Minister of Maharashtra for the first time.

The development has come when the Union government has written to several states including Maharashtra over a rise in Covid cases.
