He also expressed gratitude to his mother, Sunetra Pawar, for her “constant strength and support, and for being present on this special occasion.”
Pawar further thanked all the NCP MLAs and senior party leaders, including Praful Patel and Sunil Tatkare for their “trust and encouragement.”
He further added that he was honoured by the presence of Union Minister JP Nadda during his swearing-in ceremony. The NCP leader also expressed sincere gratitude to the Mahayuti leadership, including Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and deputy CM Eknath Shinde.
“This responsibility is not just an opportunity, but a solemn commitment—to serve Maharashtra to the best of my ability. The aspirations of our youth, the concerns of our farmers, the empowerment of women, and giving voice to the voiceless will remain my highest priorities,” he said.
He concluded, “I move forward with humility, guided by my father’s ideals, and with a firm resolve to make him proud.”
