After 1.5-year tussle, Girish Mahajan gets Nashik, Bharat Gogawale named Raigad guardian minister

The Maharashtra government has finalized its guardian minister roles for Nashik and Raigad districts, appointing BJP's Girish Mahajan to oversee Nashik and Sena's Bharat Gogawale for Raigad. This comes after a long-standing dispute among coalition partners regarding these key appointments, notably leaving the Nationalist Congress Party without any ministerial positions. The decision follows continued negotiations spanning a year and a half, signaling a new phase in the state's political landscape.
