Revolting from Shiv Sena, Eknath Shinde took oath as Chief Minister and Devendra Fadnavis as Deputy Chief Minister and a new government was formed in the state. In a special session called after that, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde had announced to reduce the petrol-diesel price in the state soon. Accordingly, yesterday (Thursday) the Chief Minister announced a reduction in petrol and diesel rates.

The people of the state who were waiting for cheaper fuel prices finally got relief from midnight. Petrol became cheaper by Rs 5 and diesel by Rs 3 in the state from midnight. The Shinde-Fadnavis government gave this gift to the public in yesterday's cabinet meeting. In this meeting many decisions were also taken for the farmers. In particular, the government gave a big relief by saying that the farmers of the flood-affected areas will not be excluded from the subsidy.
