“Thank you Hon. Prime Minister @narendramodi ji. We will ensure a stable Government that will work hard for the welfare of the people of Maharashtra,” tweeted the new deputy CM.

In a series of tweets, Pawar thanked a whole host of BJP leaders — Smriti Irani, JP Nadda, Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, Nirmala Sitharaman — who had congratulated him on becoming the deputy chief minister.
On Saturday evening, the NCP removed Ajit Pawar as the party’s legislature unit head, saying his decision to support Fadnavis government was not in line with the party’s policies.
Earlier today, NCP leader Jayant Patil went to the Raj Bhawan with a letter to Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari to inform him about replacement of Ajit Pawar as the legislature party leader.
Earlier today, the Supreme Court ordered the Centre to produce by Monday morning Maharashtra governor’s letter to BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis to form a government in the state.
The court asked Solicitor General Tushar Mehta to produce letters of the governor on Monday 10.30 am. Mehta sought two days’ time, a request that was declined by the court.
