There has been turmoil in the politics of the state after the untimely death of Maharashtra’s veteran leader and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Ajit Pawar. On one hand the leader of NCP left and on the other hand the post of Deputy CM and Finance Minister of Maharashtra also became vacant. Apart from this, the most favorite MLA of the people of Baramati is also no more.
After the death of Ajit Pawar, many such questions are being raised, which need to be answered as soon as possible, so that balance can be brought back in the politics of Maharashtra. Questions like now who will be Ajit Pawar’s successor in power, organization and legislature? Many speculations are being made regarding this.
Who will be the next Deputy CM of Maharashtra?
The first question that arises is that after Ajit Pawar, who will be the next Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra? For this, Sunetra Pawar’s name is in the forefront. NCP leaders and workers also want that Ajit Pawar’s wife and Rajya Sabha MP Sunetra Pawar should take over the responsibility of Deputy CM.
Apart from this, there are many names which are coming forward for the post of Deputy CM. NCP working president Praful Patel’s name is also in the race for the post of Deputy CM. Chhagan Bhujbal is an OBC face, who is considered a strong contender for this post. At the same time, many NCP leaders are also in support of State President Sunil Tatkare.
Who will present the budget of Maharashtra?
Ajit Pawar was the Finance Minister of Maharashtra. The state budget 2026 is also to be presented soon. In such a situation, the question arises that now that Ajit Pawar is not there, who will decide the budget and whose responsibility will it be to present it?
The rule is that whenever a minister resigns or dies, all the departments temporarily under him go to the Chief Minister. Until these departments are re-allocated, the CM remains responsible for them. In such a situation, the hope is that Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will present the next budget of Maharashtra.
Who is the next MLA of Baramati?
Baramati Assembly and Lok Sabha constituency has been the stronghold of the Pawar family for many decades. The people here have been expressing their trust first on Sharad Pawar and then on Ajit Pawar. After the death of Ajit Pawar, there was despair among the people of Baramati and a wave of mourning spread in the entire area. His most favorite MLA is not among him today.
Meanwhile, the big question is that who will be Ajit Pawar’s successor in Baramati, who will love the people of Baramati as much as him and pay equal attention to the development of the area? The answer to this question can lie within the Pawar family only, because till date no one has been able to challenge Ajit Pawar on this seat.
Some names have emerged regarding who could be the next MLA of Baramati, which apparently includes Ajit Pawar’s wife Sunetra Pawar, elder son Parth Pawar and younger son Jai Pawar.
Apart from this, the name of Ajit Pawar’s nephew Rohit Pawar is also taken as his successor. Yugendra Pawar’s name is also included in this list. Yugendra Pawar has also contested the elections from Baramati seat against Ajit Pawar, but he was defeated by a margin of more than one lakh votes. In Baramati, the workers of Sharad group call him ‘Nava Dada’ or new Dada.
Who is the next national president of NCP?
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) performed well under the leadership of Ajit Pawar. After separation from uncle Sharad Pawar, political experts were apprehensive about how far Ajit Pawar would be able to progress? But, Ajit Pawar continued to strengthen the organization with his hard work and never looked back. Today he has many ministers in the Maharashtra government.
Obviously, Ajit Pawar’s departure has caused a big blow to the organization. Now to handle the party, a leader as powerful and intelligent as him is needed. There is a strong discussion on who it will be. At present, the names of Ajit Pawar’s wife Sunetra and elder son Parth come up for the post of NCP President.
However, Praful Patel is being discussed the most. Prafulla Pate is a veteran leader of the party who is aware of every ups and downs of the organization and has deep knowledge of politics. He is also the working national president of NCP. NCP leaders and workers want Patel to become the party president and Ajit Pawar’s dreams should be fulfilled under his leadership.
The responsibility of NCP’s national president and deputy CM is given to different leaders.
NCP leaders and workers want Praful Patel to become the national president of the party and Sunetra Pawar to get the post of Deputy CM. With this demand, NCP leaders also met Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. In such a situation, there are indications that instead of merging the two factions of NCP, the leaders should keep the two parties separate. However, while Ajit Pawar is alive, the final decision on the ongoing merger discussions will be taken by Sharad Pawar only.
