Once being the only second chief minister in Maharashtra to complete the full five-year term, BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis now holds the dubious distinction of being the CM with the shortest tenure of four days in the last 59 years, a downhill journey which underlines transient nature of politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, what was supposed to be a dream run for \nFadnavis came to an abrupt end in the afternoon after Ajit Pawar stepped\n down as deputy CM, exposing the BJP\u2019s claim that it had majority in the\n 288-member Assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier PK Sawant held the record of being \nthe Maharashtra CM with the shortest term from November 25 to December \n4, 1963. He was made the caretaker chief minister after the death of his\n predecessor Marotrao Kannamwar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Tuesday afternoon, Devendra \nGangadharrao Fadnavis, 49, resigned from his post, only three days after\n he made a dramatic comeback as the chief minister for a second term \nwith the support of NCP leader Ajit Pawar, who had broken ranks with his\n parent party to lend support to the BJP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The four-day-old \nBJP-led government collapsed on the eve of the Supreme Court-ordered \nfloor test in the Assembly, after Ajit Pawar quit as deputy CM citing \n\u201cpersonal reasons\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The collapse of the nascent government capped\n the month-long uncertainty in Maharashtra politics, which witnessed \nmany twists and turns since the results of the assembly elections were \ndeclared on October 24.Fadnavis remained CM till November 8, as the \ntenure of the 13th Legislative Assembly had ended.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
