In a surprising turn of events, NCP leader Ajit Pawar, along with his supporting MLAs, has made an entry into Raj Bhavan. Speculations are rife that he is likely to take oath as the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra today.
The political landscape in Maharashtra is once again experiencing tremors as the NCP faces internal turmoil. Ajit Pawar, who has been visibly discontented in recent days, has made an unexpected appearance at Raj Bhavan. Accompanying him are several NCP leaders. Media reports suggest that Ajit Pawar is poised to join the ruling coalition and take oath as the Deputy Chief Minister.

Interestingly, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, along with Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and BJP leaders from the Shinde faction, has also arrived at Raj Bhavan. Furthermore, some BJP and NCP leaders have already entered the premises. Today, there is speculation that Ajit Pawar will be sworn in as the Deputy Chief Minister, with other NCP leaders also taking the oath as Ministers.

The list of leaders who have gathered at Ajit Pawar’s residence for the meeting includes Dilip Walse Patil, Hassan Mushrif, Chhagan Bhujbal, Kiran Lahmate, Nilesh Lanke, Dhananjay Munde, Ramraje Nimbalkar, Daulat Daroda, Makrand Patil, Anul Benke, Sunil Tingre, Amol Mitkari, Aditi Tatkare, Amol Kolhe, Shekhar Nikam, and Nilay Naik.
Last month, NCP Chief Sharad Pawar made a significant decision by handing over the party’s reins to his daughter Supriya Sule and Praful Patel. Both were appointed as the working presidents of the party. This move was perceived as a setback for Ajit Pawar, leading to the current developments and speculations surrounding his swearing-in as the Deputy Chief Minister.
