Do you remember Steve Harvey’s Miss Universe gaffe, well the Shiv Sena is now tasting the same awkwardness because of NCP? In a huge political twist, the Nationalist Congress Party and Bharatiya Janata Party have decided to lead their way to form a government in Maharastra. Early morning on Saturday, BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis took oath as the Maharashtra Chief Minister along with NCP’s leader Ajit Pawar as the deputy chief minister.

Biggest political Twist 

The two leaders sworn in after the President’s rule was imposed in the state a week ago. However, it was revoked at 5.47 am when the government was officially established, said a source. It was last night the Congress, NCP and Shiv Sena were continuing talks to mould the next government in Maharashtra.

In the meantime, Ajit Pawar was also present in this triangle meet. It was generally assumed that the three parties will hold a press conference to announce the designs of their government. However, Ajit had something else cooking in his head.

“I took this judgement as to the discussions of the alliance of the three parties Congress, NCP, and Shiv Sena was not finishing. There was a need to give a stable government in Maharashtra,” said Pawar, nephew of NCP boss Sharad Pawar.

Clueless Sharad Pawar

Clueless of the situation, Sharad Pawar seems to be in a no man’s land. The 78-year-old said it was his nephew’s decision and not the party’s. “Ajit Pawar’s decision to support the BJP to form the Maharashtra Government is his personal choice and not that of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). We place on account that we do not support or encourage this decision of his,” Sharad Pawar said in a tweet.
