If NCP Chief Sharad Pawar is to be believed, he will be sworn in on Sunday at the historic Shivaji Park. Pawar has also informed that three representatives of ‘Maha Vikas Aghadi’ will meet the Governor today.

This comes on the heels of resignation of newly sworn-in chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar, hours after the Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered a floor test in the Maharashtra Assembly on Wednesday.

According to reports, Fadnavis has cited that the BJP does not have a majority as the cause for stepping down from the post of Chief Minister.
