Maharashtra Politics: One or the other things keep coming out from the political circles of Maharashtra. The latest news is coming about NCP chief Sharad Pawar. In fact, he has taken a U-turn from his statement in which he had said that Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar still remains the NCP leader. He said that I am not saying that he is our leader. It is right for Supriya Sule to say so. She is his (Ajit Pawar’s) younger sister. There is no need to make political sense out of it.
Sharad Pawar further said that I did not say that Ajit Pawar is our leader. This has been distorted by the media. This thing was said by Supriya and this thing was also published in the newspapers. Looking at the kind of stand he has taken, he is not our leader.
What was the news about Sharad Pawar
Let us tell you that news was going on about NCP chief Sharad Pawar that he has said that there is no division in the party and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar will continue to be the leader of the party. It has been said in the media report that Sharad Pawar has said- some leaders have left NCP by adopting a “different political stand”, but this cannot be called a split in the party. Sharad Pawar spoke to the media at his hometown Baramati in Pune district before leaving for Kolhapur. During this he said these things.
What did Supriya Sule say
Sharad Pawar’s daughter and NCP working president Supriya Sule had said a day ago that Ajit Pawar is a senior leader and MLA of the party. Lok Sabha member from Baramati Sule had said about Ajit Pawar that now, he has taken a stand which is against the party and we have given a complaint to the Speaker and are waiting for his response. When asked about Sule’s statement that there is no split in the NCP and that Ajit Pawar is the leader of the party, Sharad Pawar had said that yes, there is no doubt about it.
Sharad Pawar had said that how can anyone say that there is a split in the NCP? There is no doubt that Ajit Pawar is the leader of our party. What is the meaning of split in a political party? Splits happen when a large group of a party splits at the national level, but that has not happened here. Some people left the party, some took a different stand… It is their right to take decisions in a democracy. It is noteworthy that Ajit Pawar and eight other NCP MLAs had joined the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena-BJP government in the state on July 2.
