  • His mother, Sunetra Pawar, recently took oath as Maharashtra's first woman Deputy Chief Minister on January 31.
  • Sunetra Pawar was allotted excise, sports, minority development, and Aukaf departments, but not finance and planning.
  • Sunetra, 62, resigned her Rajya Sabha membership and is expected to contest the Baramati assembly by-election.
