Continuing its vicious tirade on Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP), Shiv Sena on Sunday (November 24) called the unprecedented turn ofevents in Maharashtra, which allowed Devendra Fadnavis to take oath as Chief Minister of the state for the second consecutive term on Saturday (November23), "shameless politics". Shiv Sena said in its mouthpiece Saamana that Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) supremo Sharad Pawar has been betrayed by his own nephew Ajit Pawar. "This is politics of shamelessness... Sharad Pawar has been betrayed", Shiv Sena said in Saamana.

Amid high political drama on Saturday, the President's rulewas revoked in Maharashtra and Fadnavis took oath as the CM with senior NCPleader Ajit Pawar as his deputy. The development left Shiv Sena, NCP and Congressin complete shock as Ajit Pawar unilaterally decided to part ways from SharadPawar-led NCP and decided to support the BJP.

Fadnavis took oath the CM few hours after the ShivSena-NCP-Congress reached an agreement over government formation in Maharashtrawith Sharad Pawar announcing on Friday (November 22) that Sena chief UddhavThackeray will lead the Sena-NCP-Congress alliance government in the state.

NCP chief Pawar immediately announced that Ajit Pawar, whowas the legislature party leader of NCP, had decided to support the BJP withoutthe permission of party MLAs. By Saturday evening, Ajit Pawar was removed as theNCP legislature party leader.

Shiv Sena slammed Ajit Pawar in Saamana and said, "12ghante mein Ajit Pawar ke baje baara (Ajit Pawar has been destroyed in 12hours)"."Ajit Pawar's wings have been cut off," Shiv Sena said.On Saturday, Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray addressed a joint press conferencewith NCP chief Pawar and called the turn of events a "farzikalstrike".

The Shiv Sena, Congress and NCP approached the Supreme Courton Saturday night (November 23) against Maharashtra Governor Bhagat SinghKoshyari's decision to allow Fadnavis take oath as the chief minister.The threeparties have urged the top court to order an immediate floor test in theMaharashtra assembly to avoid "horse trading" of MLAs.
