On Monday night, after the dramatic developments, Sawant took oath at about 1.50 pm. A few hours later, on Tuesday morning, he wrote a letter to Governor Mridula Sinha claiming to prove the majority in the assembly on Wednesday. Today, Priyanka Gandhi will also campaign for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s parliamentary constituency. Apart from this, he will also perform Poojan-Archana in Kashi Vishwanath Temple.

Let the last Chief Minister Manohar Parikar, who breathed last Sunday, was cremated with a state honor on Miramar Beach on Monday.
At the moment I do not give any bouquet, in mourning
After taking the charge in the office on Tuesday, Sawant appealed to not give bouquet or congratulations to all of them to become the new Chief Minister. He said, I have assumed office of utmost humility and gratitude towards my mentor and the ideal manohar brother (parikar). There is still the atmosphere of mourning in the state, so for now I would not be greeted by giving bouquet or greetings. I want all of you to cooperate and wish to pursue a great heritage committed to good governance.
