Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister (CM) Sunetra Pawar shared her first reaction after assuming office on Tuesday. In an emotional post on social media platform X, she vowed to carry forward the unfinished dreams of her late husband, former Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar, and work with dedication for the welfare of the state.

In a heartfelt statement released shortly after taking charge at Mantralaya, Pawar wrote, “While assuming the responsibility of deputy CM of Maharashtra today, I am also filled with a sense of trust, duty, and sacrifice. The passion for development that Ajitdada pursued throughout his life for the people of Maharashtra will be my guiding light. Drawing strength from his work style, decisiveness, and close bond with the people, I will move forward. My priority will be to fulfil his unfinished dreams and deliver justice to the expectations of farmers, women, youth, and common citizens. No one can take Dada’s place, but I will sincerely strive to preserve his ideals and build a more capable Maharashtra. In this difficult time, the love, support, and trust given by the people is my strength.”
