Why new Maharashtra rules give CM Devendra Fadnavis veto power over any minister
The Maharashtra government amended its rules, granting Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis the authority to override any minister's decision in public interest. This change follows a 2023 Bombay High Court ruling that previously limited the CM's powers. The new rules, notified on August 14, 2026, aim to enhance executive oversight and accountability within the state government.
