Let me play my innings first: Maharashtra council's new deputy chairman Sachin Ahir

Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC Sachin Ahir, now Maharashtra legislative council's deputy chairman, downplayed speculation about his future political path, stating he needs to 'play the innings first.' His election as a ruling Mahayuti candidate surprised many, especially given his close ties to Aaditya Thackeray. Ahir, a former NCP minister and three-time MLA, joined the undivided Shiv Sena before Thackeray's entry into politics, becoming a trusted aide.
