Our petition has been numbered," he said while speaking to reporters here.After a prolonged uncertainty over the government formation that lasted for nearly a month, Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday took oath for the second term as the state Chief Minister, while Ajit Pawar as his deputy chief minister.
