Senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis is poised to become the Chief Minister of Maharashtra for the third time. He will take the oath of office tomorrow in Mumbai, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior alliance leaders in attendance.

During a BJP Core Committee meeting held in Mumbai today, Fadnavis was unanimously elected as the legislative party leader.
