Ajit Pawar takes oath as Maharashtra deputy CM
Maharashtra politics has been marked by stunning somersaults since 2019. On Sunday, another such move unfolded, with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Ajit Pawar breaking ranks with his uncle Sharad Pawar to join the Shinde-Fadnavis government. He was sworn in as deputy chief minister along with eight others from NCP.
The NCP split comes a year after the cleaving of the Shiv Sena, and was executed with similar stealth and precision. At least 37 of NCP’s 55 MLAs defected with Ajit Pawar and more are likely to follow.
The Raj Bhavan staff was alerted only a couple of hours before the swearing-in, and such was the haste that even the families of most ministers who took oath did not have time to reach Raj Bhavan. A senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said the decision to induct Ajit Pawar into the state cabinet was taken last week by Union home minister Amit Shah in consultation with deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis.
