On this Special Report, the focus is on the significant political transition in Maharashtra as Sunetra Pawar takes oath as the state’s first woman Deputy Chief Minister. The appointment follows the tragic death of her husband, Ajit Pawar, in an air crash on 28th January. Sunetra Pawar, a Rajya Sabha MP and social activist, was elected as the NCP legislative party leader to fill the vacancy. During the broadcast, it was noted that ‘the NCP has given a green signal to Sunetra Pawar in collectiveness to become the next Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra.’ The program highlights her political journey, including her previous electoral contest in Baramati and her role in the influential Pawar family. While Sharad Pawar described the move as an internal party matter, the NCP emphasized the importance of retaining the portfolios previously held by the late leader. The ceremony at Raj Bhavan marks a historic moment for the state’s leadership under the Mahayuti alliance.
