Mumbai, October 25: Ashok Chavan, all set to be sworn in as Maharashtra Chief Minister for the second time, on Sunday said that the state cabinet would be formed after the meeting of NCP MLAs tomorrow and added that Raj Thackeray’s support will not be taken to form the government.
“NCP legislature meeting will be held tomorrow and after that only the government formation process will start,” Chavan told reporters while addressing a press conference in Mumbai.
Asked if the Congress-NCP government will take support of MNS, he said, “There is no question of taking Raj Thackeray’s support.”
Listing the government’s priorities in his second term in office, he said that he would work to implement the election manifesto of the two parties.
He added that Maharashtra would be made self-reliant in the power sector in the next three years.
Chavan said that after his appointment as Chief Minister was announced last night, he held meetings with President Pratibha Patil and senior leaders like A K Antony, Sharad Pawar and Ahmad Patel to discuss the formation of the new government.
