13/09/2018 List of Chief Ministers of Maharashtra - Wikipedia List of Chief Ministers of Maharashtra The Chief Minister of Maharashtra is the head of the Government of the western Indian state of Maharashtra. Following elections to Chief Minister of the Legislative Assembly, the Governor invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the government and appoints the Maharashtra Chief Minister (CM). If the appointee is not a member of either the Legislative Assembly or the Legislative Council of Maharashtra, then the Constitution stipulates that they need to be elected within six months of being sworn-in.[1] The office of the CM is coterminous with the concurrent Assembly provided the CM commands confidence in the house and hence does not exceed five years. However, it is subject to no term limits.[2] Maharashtra was formed by dissolution of Bombay State on 1 May 1960.[3] Yashwantrao Chavan, who was serving as the third CM of Bombay State since 1956, became the first CM of Maharashtra. He belonged to the Indian National Congress and held the office until the Seal of the Government of 1962 Assembly elections. Marotrao Kannanwar succeeded him and was the only CM to die while in office.[4][5] Vasantrao Naik, who was Maharashtra in office from December 1963 to February 1975 for more than 11 years, has by far been the longest serving CM. He also was the first and only CM to complete his full term of five years (1967-1972). With the exceptions of Manohar Joshi (Shiv Sena), Narayan Rane (Shiv Sena) and Devendra Fadnavis (Bharatiya Janata Party), all other CMs have been from the Congress or its breakaway parties.[6][7][8] So far, President's rule has been imposed twice in the state: first from February to June 1980 and again from September to October 2014.[9][10] Devendra Fadnavis is the incumbent CM since 31 October 2014, the first from the BJP.[11] Contents Colour key for political parties Chief Ministers of Bombay State Incumbent Chief Ministers of Maharashtra[c] Devendra Fadnavis since 31 October 2014 Explanatory notes See also Style The Honourable References Status Head of Government External links Abbreviation CM Member of Maharashtra Colour key for political parties Legislature https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chief_Ministers_of_Maharashtra 1/10 13/09/2018 List of Chief Ministers of Maharashtra - Wikipedia Indian National Congress (Assembly/Council) Cabinet Indian National Congress (Urs) Residence Varsha bungalow, Indian National Congress (Socialist) Malabar Hill, Shiv Sena Mumbai Bharatiya Janata Party Seat Mantralaya, Mumbai N/A (President's rule) Appointer Governor of Maharashtra constitutionally; Chief Ministers of Bombay State based on the appointee's ability to Name Term of office Assembly command No (birth-death) Portrait Party Took Left Duration constituency confidence in the office office House [a] Chief Ministers of Bombay State Term length Five years B.

After India's Independence, Bombay State was created and its territory underwent constant change in the following years. It comprised Bombay Presidency (roughly equating to the present-day Indian state of Maharashtra, excluding South Maharashtra and Vidarbha), the princely states of the Baroda, Western India and Gujarat (the present-day Indian state of Gujarat) and Deccan States (which included parts of the present-day Indian states of Maharashtra and Karnataka).[12] b. States Reorganisation Act, 1956: Bombay State was enlarged by the addition of Saurashtra State and Kutch State, the Marathi-speaking districts of Nagpur Division of Madhya Pradesh and Marathwada region of Hyderabad State. The southernmost districts of the Bombay Presidency were transferred to Mysore State.[13] c. Bombay state was dissolved to form the present-day states of Maharashtra and Gujarat by the Bombay Reorganisation Act, 1960, which was enacted by the Parliament of India on 25 April 1960 and came into effect on 1 May 1960. [3] d. Under Article 356 of the Constitution of India, in the event that a state government is unable to function according to constitutional provisions, the Central government can take direct control of the state machinery through the Governor. When President's rule is in force in a state, its council of ministers stands dissolved. The office of chief minister thus lies vacant. At times, the legislative assembly also stands dissolved.[19] See also Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra List of Governors of Maharashtra https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chief_Ministers_of_Maharashtra 8/10 13/09/2018 List of Chief Ministers of Maharashtra - Wikipedia References 11.
