Nationalist Congress Party leader Ajit Pawar took oath as Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra in the presence of CM Eknath Shinde. However, it’s not the first time Ajit Pawar has shocked his party with a surprise move. In 2019, amid political turmoil, Ajit took oath as Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra twice. Meanwhile, Maharashtra CM Shinde affirmed that the double-engine govt has now become triple engine.
