The Shiv Sena chief received a ‘Guard of Honour’ from the Satara Police and returned to Mumbai on Sunday afternoon.
The swearing-in ceremony of the Maharashtra government will take place on December 5 at the Azad Maidan, BJP state president Chandrashekhar Bawankule had said.
Meanwhile, the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi has accused the Mahayuti parties of delaying the process of government formation.

The BJP emerged as the largest party in the 280-member assembly with 132 seats, while its allies—the Shiv Sena, led by Eknath Shinde, and the NCP, led by Ajit Pawar—secured 57 and 41 seats, respectively.
