NCP supporters smear black ink on posters of leaders who joined Eknath Shinde Govt
NCP supporters smeared black ink on posters of party leaders who joined the NDA government. Ajit Pawar and 8 other NCP MLAs took oath as ministers in the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government. Oath-taking ceremony took place at Raj Bhawan in the presence of CM Eknath Shinde and Dy CM Devendra Fadnavis. The development comes after a high-voltage political drama in Maharashtra that saw the collapse of the Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress government and the formation of a new government led by Eknath Shinde. NCP is the second-largest party in the Maharashtra assembly after the Shiv Sena.
