Just two days back, Ajit Pawar arrived at the Silver Oak residence of the NCP chief in Mumbai following the discharge of senior Pawar's wife from the hospital post-surgery.
It is said that the junior Pawar is close to his aunt. In 2019, when he joined hands with Devendra Fadnavis for a short term as Deputy Chief Minister, it was his aunty only who played a significant role in bringing him back to the NCP side, as per a report of CNBC.
Ajit Pawar joined the Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis government on July 2 and took oath as the Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister. Days after this switch, a major reshuffle happened in the Maharashtra Cabinet and he was allocated finance and planning ministries.
