Mumbai, Jul 2 (IANS): In a huge political upheaval, Leader of Opposition Ajit Pawar on Sunday 'split' the Nationalist Congress Party to take oath as Deputy Chief Minister in the ruling alliance of Shiv Sena-Bharatiya Janata Party government of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis.

The fast-paced political developments came after a routine meeting of his supporting MLAs and within hours, the decision was taken to walk out of the NCP.

This afternoon, Pawar, along with several NCP heavyweights, went to Raj Bhavan to meet Governor Ramesh Bais and hand over a letter of support signed by around three-dozen MLAs.

Soon afterwards, Shinde, Fadnavis, BJP state President Chandrashekhar Bawankule and other senior leaders of the ruling alliance also rushed to Raj Bhavan.

Ajit Pawar, along with a few NCP MLAs decided to join the government and were administered the oath of office by the Governor.

    It isn't surprising as Sharad Pawar had given them permission to do the same to help them save from ED probes as their files are under probe. Ajit will ditch the government once Central govt loses in next election or state election gets underway whichever is earlier. To escape from present danger seems to be the reason. Shard Pawar is most shrewd politician of Maharashtra and he can't live without power for long according to one political commentator a few months back which is proven once again.
