The politics in Maharashtra has been surprising for everyone. The political analysts has been kept on toes for the past three years and the voters on the edge, wondering what will unfold next.
During the early days of the month, Ajit Pawar rebelled against his uncle and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) supremo Sharad Pawar and took oath as a Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra under CM Eknath Shinde. After Ajit Pawar’s oath as Deputy CM of the state, the political observers questioned why would he put in so much efforts for a post which he had held earlier.
For the unversed, Ajit Pawar held the post of Deputy CM under Maha Vikas Aghadi, wherein Uddhav Thackeray served as CM of the state.
The doubts are now cleared by Pawar himself. In his speech, he stated, “I was sworn in deputy CM five times. It is a record but the vehicle stops there, doesn’t proceed further. I feel from the bottom of my heart that I should become CM of the state.” In the meeting held by his NCP faction in Bhujbal Knowledge City, he added that there are some things which he would like to “implement” but it would be possible only when he is the CM of the state.
