Maharashtra is on the brink of political transition as its new government gets set for the oath-taking ceremony on December 5 in South Mumbai. The event, likely to draw thousands, will feature Prime Minister Narendra Modi among other high-profile attendees.

Eknath Shinde, the caretaker Chief Minister, visited Thane for a hospital check-up ahead of the event. Shinde, involved in a strategic alliance with the BJP and NCP, has been facing health issues, sparking rumors about his dissatisfaction with the political proceedings.
