Jitendra Satish Awhad has been appointed chief whip of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) after Ajit Pawar joined Eknath Shinde's Maharashtra government.
The appointment letter was handed over to the assembly speaker
NCP state president Jayant Patil also named Awhad as the new leader of the opposition and the new chief whip of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly. Hours after Ajit Pawar stepped down and joined the Maharashtra government along with some other NCP leaders, Awhad reached the Maharashtra Speaker's office and handed over his appointment letter to the assembly speaker.

Ajit Pawar joined the Shinde-led Shiv Sena-BJP alliance in Maharashtra and was sworn in as the second deputy chief minister along with current deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis. The impact of the state's political upheaval can be seen in the assembly and Lok Sabha elections to be held next year. It was a surprising and major political move that could have ramifications for national politics.
The name of the leader of the LOP post is not decided yet

Maharashtra Congress spokesperson Atul Londhe said, "We (Congress) don't need to claim anything, this is the fixed formula and I don't think anyone has any objection to it."
