MUMBAI, Jan 31: Rajya Sabha MP Sunetra Pawar was on Saturday elected by NCP legislators as the leader of the party’s legislature group, making her the party’s nominee for the deputy chief minister post in the Mahayuti government.
Later at 5 pm Sunetra took oath as Deputy Chief Minister, becoming Maharashtra’s first woman deputy chief minister.
This comes after Ajit Pawar's sudden demise in a plane crash earlier this week.
