The buzz is that NCP is seriously thinking of proposing Ajit’s widow Sunetra Pawar, who is currently a Rajya Sabha member, for the post of deputy CM. ADVERTISEMENTA comment from NCP leader and Maharashtra Food & Drug Administration minister Narhari Zirwal further triggered speculation. PTI quoted Zirwal as saying that the public wants Sunetra Pawar to be inducted into the state ministry. NCP leaders are expected to meet chief minister Devendra Fadnavis to discuss future course of action, including Sunetra as deputy CM. There was speculation in recent weeks that NCP could merge with NCP (Sharad Pawar), but those talks are likely to be taken up at a later stage.
