Ajit Pawar resigns as Dy CM of Maha ahead of floor test

Mumbai: NCP leader and Sharad Pawar’s nephew, Ajit Pawar resigned as the Deputy CM of Maharashtra just a day before the floor test ordered by the Supreme Court.

The news comes as a shocker as Ajit Pawar, who stunned the NCP by engineering an alliance and a midnight coup with the BJP which saw Devendra Fadnavis return to power, resigned from the post of Dy CM.

Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court ordered that the Maharashtra floor test be held within 24 hours tomorrow which will be conducted through open ballot and will be telecast live.
