Sunetra Pawar-led NCP asks Fadnavis to return finance portfolio

An NCP delegation led by Deputy CM Sunetra Pawar met Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis at his official residence Varsha on Sunday, seeking the return of the finance portfolio he took over after Ajit Pawar's death in January 2026. Sources say Fadnavis responded positively, and minister Chhagan Bhujbal expects the portfolio back before the winter session.
