Sunetra Pawar, the wife of Nationalist Congress Party leader Ajit Pawar, took oath as Maharashtra’s first woman Deputy Chief Minister today.

Bill Gates has responded to allegations in the Epstein files regarding him contracting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) after sexual encounters with “Russian girls”. Gates called the claims “absolutely absurd and completely false”.

Sunetra Pawar is presently a Rajya Sabha MP and is not a member of either House of the Maharashtra legislature.
