There is suspense over CM’s name in Maharashtra.
The inauguration of the new Chief Minister in Maharashtra will almost certainly take place in the first week of December, but who will be the Chief Minister of the state? His name has not yet been revealed. After the Mahayuti alliance’s victory in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, statements are continually coming in saying that the organization will stamp the CM’s name. Any decision made by senior management will be accepted. It is claimed that even in the three-hour meeting held last night at Home Minister Amit Shah’s residence in Delhi, the answer to the question of who will be the Chief Minister of Maharashtra could not be found.
There is still suspense over CM’s name.In such a situation, the question is: after how many days it is mandatory for the Chief Minister to take oath after the election results? What happens if it doesn’t happen? Let us know the answers to these questions.
In how many days is the swearing-in of the new CM mandatory?
Supreme Court lawyer Ashish Pandey says there is no clear rule in the Constitution of India on how many days it is mandatory to take oath as CM after election results are announced, but the mandate of the Assembly is definitely 5 years old. The term of the Maharashtra Assembly ended in the last week of November.
Generally, after the assembly election results in any state, the name of the Chief Minister is announced within 1 to 7 days or the oath-taking process is also completed. Advocate Ashish Pandey says that if no party claims to form the government, then in such a situation, the governor asks the party that gets maximum number of votes to form the government. If the political party that gets the most votes cannot form the government in the state, then the governor can invite the second largest party to form the government.
What powers does the Governor have if the government is not formed?
If there is a long delay in the formation of the government in the state, then the Governor definitely has the right to recommend the imposition of President’s rule. This situation is also called “State Emergency” or “Constitutional Emergency”.
Article 356 of the Constitution of India says that the rule of the President is imposed when the President, after receiving a report from the Governor, is satisfied that the government of the State cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution. Initially, the President’s term is valid for 6 months, but if necessary, it can be extended from 6 months to a maximum of 3 years.
This situation is not visible in the case of Maharashtra, but it is stated that the name of the Chief Minister will be revealed in the next two days. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see if one of the most popular Eknath Shinde or Devendra Fadnavis becomes the Chief Minister of Maharashtra or if some new face comes to the fore.
However, there is talk that the next Chief Minister of Maharashtra could be veteran BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis. While Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde may be appointed deputy CM. Currently everyone is waiting for the official announcement of the alliance.
