A week after a government white paper on
irrigation gave Ajit Pawar a clean chit, the
senior NCP leader was today sworn-in as
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister. Pawar, the
nephew of NCP president and Union Minister
Sharad Pawar, was sworn in at Raj Bhawan
here. Governor K Sankaranarayanan
administered oath of office to Pawar in the
presence of Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan.
Opposition Sena-BJP members, which have
denounced the move, kept away from the
swearing-in ceremony.
