Ajit Pawar removed as NCP legislative party leader

In a dramatic turn of events, BJP's Devendra Fadnavis took oath as Chief Minister of Maharashtra early on Saturday morning along with NCP leader Ajit Pawar as his deputy. However, NCP chief Sharad Pawar soon distanced himself from Ajit Pawar's decision, calling it his "personal" choice. Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari had first invited the BJP to form the government. After it refused, he invited the Shiv Sena followed by the NCP with 54 seats the next day. But before the deadline for its response ended, Koshyari submitted his report to the government calling for the President's rule in the state on November 12.
