flag Sunetra Pawar, widow of slain Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar, to be sworn in amid party tensions and Sharad Pawar’s denial of involvement.

flag On January 31, 2026, Sunetra Pawar, widow of late Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, was slated to be sworn in as Deputy Chief Minister in the Devendra Fadnavis–led cabinet. flag Senior NCP leader Sharad Pawar said he had no prior knowledge of the decision and learned about it through media reports, denying any consultation or involvement. flag The move, expected to be formalized after a party leadership election, follows the January 28 plane crash that killed Ajit Pawar and stalled merger talks between rival NCP factions. flag While some party leaders supported the appointment as a tribute to Ajit Pawar’s legacy, Sharad Pawar’s remarks underscored internal tensions and ongoing uncertainty within the party.
