Mumbai: After a long drama in Maharashtra it was BJP who formed a government, Devendra Fadnavis took oath as CM in the early morning whereas NCP leader Ajit Pawar as Deputy CM.
Meanwhile, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut lambasted on Ajit Pawar and said that he has backstabbed the people of the state and accused the BJP of misusing the Governor’s office for power.
“Sharad Pawar saheb has nothing to do with this (on government formation). Ajit Pawar has backstabbed the people of Maharashtra. BJP has once again misused the Governor’s Office for power. This is against the credentials of the country’s democracy,” Raut said at a press conference here.
He said that Ajit Pawar was active in talks between Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress on government formation yesterday.
Raut said, “As of 9 o’clock last night, this gentleman (Ajit Pawar) was very active during the conversation. After that, he suddenly disappeared. We suspected when he was not talking to us by maintaining eye to eye contact,” Raut said.
Continuing his stand against Ajit Pawar, the Shiv Sena leader said, “Uddhav Thackeray Ji and Sharad Pawar Ji are still in touch and will meet even today. They can also address the media together. But the fact is that Ajit Pawar and MLAs are supporting him. Insulted Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Maharashtra. People of Maharashtra will not forgive Ajit Pawar. “
While BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis took oath as the Chief Minister for the second consecutive term, Ajit Pawar took oath as Deputy Chief Minister of the state. Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari had administered the oath to both the leaders at Raj Bhawan.
The move came at a time when deliberations between Congress, NCP, and Shiv Sena on government formation seemingly reached the final stage on Friday.
