Ajit Pawar has not only consolidated his position in the BJP-led Mahayuti, but also fortified his place in Maharashtra politics by becoming deputy chief minister for the sixth time. Ajit Pawar has now firmly come out of the shadow of his formidable uncle Sharad Pawar, more than a year after he rebelled against the NCP founder.
He took oath as a deputy CM in the Devendra Fadnavis-led government at a grand ceremony here on Thursday evening.
A multiple-time deputy CM under different governments, 65-year-old Ajit Pawar has not concealed his chief ministerial ambitions, but that dream has still remained unfulfilled.
His detractors may mock him as a 'forever deputy chief minister', but at the end of the churning in Maharashtra politics post-2019 that saw the Shiv Sena and Nationalist Congress Party splitting and foes becoming friends, he proved to be the ultimate survivor.
Doubts were raised over his political acumen when he fielded his wife Sunetra Pawar against his cousin Supriya Sule, the daughter of NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar, from Baramati in the Lok Sabha polls earlier this year.
