Maharashtra minister and BJP leader Girish Mahajan on Monday said the swearing in of Ajit Pawar as deputy chief minister under Devendra Fadnavis after the Assembly polls in 2019 was a "googly" of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) supremo Sharad Pawar, reported the PTI.
After the Shiv Sena and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) broke their alliance post the 2019 Assembly polls, in a surprise move, Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar joined hands to form government, which, however, collapsed in 80 hours.
