Haryana CM congratulates the new leadership of Maharashtra

Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar congratulated Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar for taking oath as the chief minister and deputy chief minister of Maharashtra respectively on Saturday and said the state will touch new heights of development under their leadership.

Khattar congratulated Fadnavis on taking oath as the Maharashtra chief minister for the second term. He also congratulated Nationalist Congress Party's (NCP) Ajit Pawar for being sworn-in as the deputy chief minister of the state.

"I firmly believe that under your leadership Maharashtra will touch new heights of development," he said in a tweet. The month-long political impasse in Maharashtra ended dramatically with Fadnavis returning as the chief minister again, backed by the Sharad Pawar-led NCP.
