NCP leader Ajit Pawar’s induction in the Eknath Shinde-helmed state cabinet couldn’t be more ironic. Shinde and the 39 MLAs, who raised a rebellion in the Shiv Sena, had last year blamed Ajit Pawar, as the then finance minister, of not allocating funds for their constituencies. Moreover, they had blamed the NCP for trying to destroy the Shiv Sena.
