Maharashtra Politics News: Ajit Pawar will get opportunity to become Maharashtra CM says Praful Patel | Mumbai News – Times of India
“Ajit Pawar is a popular and heavyweight leader. He has been leading our party for several years now. Those who work get the opportunity either today, tomorrow or day after. Many have got the opportunity. Ajitdada will also get it, if not today, tomorrow or anytime in future. We will work in that direction,” he said.
Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan recently claimed that Ajit Pawar would be appointed as the CM, replacing Eknath Shinde on August 10. On Monday, deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis dismissed Chavan’s claim, saying there will be no change of guard in the state.
Asked about the possibility of him being inducted into the council of ministers at the Centre, Patel there is no discussion on the Union cabinet reshuffle or expansion. “I don’t think it will happen,” he said.
