Ajit Pawar's mobile switched off, rumours swell

November 28, 2019 12:35

NCP spokesperson, on reports that Ajit Pawar has switched off his mobile phone, says the Pawar has not gone incommunicado, but has intentionally switched off his mobile phone to avoid frequent calls. "He will attend the swearing-in ceremony," the spokesperson said. The deputy chief minister's post may go to Ajit Pawar, they said.

NCP leaders Chhagan Bhujbal and Jayant Patil and Maharashtra Congress unit chief Balasaheb Thorat are likely to take oath as state ministers today.

Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray will be sworn in as chief minister of Maharashtra this evening at a ceremony to be held at the Shivaji Park in Dadar.

NCP leader Praful Patel on Wednesday said one or two MLAs each from his party, the Shiv Sena and the Congress will be sworn in as ministers at the ceremony.

"Bhujbal and Patil are expected to be sworn in as ministers from the NCP. Ajit Dada is likely to be the deputy CM. But, he is unlikely to take oath today," a source in the NCP said.
