A joint press conference held by NCP-Shiv Sena after Devendra Fadnavis took oath as Maharashtra Chief Minister and NCP's Ajit Pawar took oath as Deputy CM on November 23.

Speaking at press conference NCP Chief Sharad Pawar said, "Congress, Shiv Sena and NCP leaders came together to form Government. We had the numbers. We had our official numbers- 44, 56 and 54 MLAs with us who had supported the govt. Several independent were also with us and we had numbers around 170. Ajit Pawar's decision is against the party line and is indiscipline. No NCP leader or worker is in favour of an NCP-BJP government".
