Ajit Pawar has joined the Eknath Shinde Government as the Deputy CM along with 8 others with different portfolios. It is a big blow to the NCP which is led by Sharad Pawar.
But there are rumours that Sharad Pawar could have been briefed by Ajit over the development. This is a big blow to the opposition unity for the coming elections.
The Ministers were sworn in at Rajbhavan on a Sunday. Ajith was sworn in as Deputy CM. Eknath and Devendra were on the dias along with Governor Ramesh.
More than twenty NCP netas attended the swearing-in ceremony.
Ajit loyalists were sworn in as the Ministers. Now there will be two deputy CMs for Maharashtra.
Chagan Bhujbal the NCP heavyweight, Dilip Patel, Hasan Mushrif, Walse Patil, Sanjay Babu Rao, Anil Patil, and others took oath. One lady MLA was also sworn in as Minister.
Some Ministers touched the feet of Ajit Pawar. This is a big blow to the NCP in the long run. There is news that Sharad Pawar the NCP President spoke to Supriya Sule about the Developments.
Pawar is supposed to have stated that he does now support Ajit. The BJP claimed that 43 MLAs are with Ajit Pawar.
