Sunetra Pawar was sworn in as the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, marking a historic moment as she became the first woman to hold this position in the state. A Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament, she was unanimously elected as the leader of the NCP legislature party at Vidhan Bhavan. Her appointment followed the tragic death of Deputy CM Ajit Pawar in a plane crash. Backed by senior party leaders, her elevation reflects political continuity as well as a significant step toward greater representation of women in top executive roles within state governance.
