New Delhi: Maharashtra Congress President Balasaheb Thorat said here on Wednesday that no decision has been taken on who would be the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra.

"No decision has been taken on who will be Deputy Chief Minister," said Thorat.

The oath-taking ceremony of the newly-elected MLAs began in Maharashtra Assembly in a special session on Wednesday after days of political uncertainty in the state.

The oath was being administered by newly appointed pro-tem speaker Kalidas Kolambkar here at the Raj Bhavan.

Wednesday’s session came a day after BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis resigned as Maharashtra Chief Minister merely three days after he took oath in a controversial turn of events.
