On July 2, Ajit Pawar was sworn in as Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister at Raj Bhavan in Mumbai. Senior NCP leaders Chhagan Bhujbal and Hasan Mushrif, as well as Sharad Pawar’s close confidant Dilip Walse-Patil, were also sworn in as Ministers in the Shinde-Fadnavis-Pawar government.

Chhagan Bhujbal was sworn in as a Minister in the Shinde-Fadnavis-Pawar coalition cabinet.

“While we are uncertain about the details of the incident, I can assure you that Pawar Saheb is not involved in this drama”, a top representative from Sharad Pawar’s NCP told the media.

Dilip Walse-Patil, a close confidante of Sharad Pawar, was also sworn in as Minister. Hasan Mushrif, leader of the Nationalist Congress Party, was sworn in as Minister in the Shinde-Fadnavis-Pawar government.

The Governor swore in Dhananjay Munde, Aatram Dharamaobaba Bhagwantrao, and Aditi Sunil Tatkare as Ministers.

Senior NCP leaders like Praful Patel, Dhananjay Munde, and others were also present.

Thirty of the State’s 53 NCP MLAs appear to be with Ajit Pawar, the State Assembly’s leader of the opposition.
