A lot of drama unfolded in Maharashtra politics recently, and was nothing less than a movie. Devendra Fadnavis was sworn in as the Chief Minister and Ajit Pawar from NCP was appointed as his Deputy CM. However, just ahead of the floor test, they resigned from their respective positions and Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress together formed the government. Uddhav Thackeray was sworn in as the new Maharashtra CM.

When Ajit Pawar went to support BJP, his uncle and NCP supremo Sharad Pawar kept on reiterating his views that the decision was taken without consulting him and he doesn't approve giving his support to BJP in making them for the government in Maharashtra.
