The BJP was propped up by NCP's Ajit Pawar who revolted against his party headed by his uncle Sharad Pawar.

In the video, Fadnavis can be heard describing what Ajit Pawar would be doing in prison after the election.

The Congress leader requested Deputy Chief Minister Ajit, the nephew of NCP chief Sharad Pawar, to come back to the fold of the NCP.

The anti-defection law, enacted in 1985 to check the menace of “Aaya Ram, Gaya Ram” culture in Indian politics.

Ajit changed his Twitter bio to “Deputy Chief Minister, Maharashtra,” but described himself as a “Nationalist Congress Party Leader”.

Congress’ chief spokesman Randeep Surjewala said the current government in the state was “illegitimate” and that a floor test was the only solution.

A day later, Ajit Pawar seemingly revolted against his party and the authority of his uncle in an early morning coup.

Devendra Fadnavis took oath early on Saturday morning for the second consecutive term as the state chief minister.

According to sources, Sharad Pawar asked the legislators whether they are facing any problem in the emerging political situation in state.
