Maharashtra Politics: Will Sharad Pawar join the BJP? This type of discussion is happening in full swing. The reaction of Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) MP Sanjay Raut has come to the fore. Raut claimed that Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar would not make the “mistake” of joining hands with the BJP like his nephew Ajit Pawar. Let us tell you that NCP leader Ajit Pawar was sworn in as the Deputy Chief Minister in the Eknath Shinde-led BJP government in Maharashtra last month. Along with him, eight other NCP MLAs also took oath as cabinet ministers.
Sharad Pawar’s party is currently seen in the state along with Shiv Sena (UBT) and opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi along with Congress. Raut wrote in his weekly column ‘Rokhthok’ in Shiv Sena’s (UBT) mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ that Ajit Pawar can become a really big leader if he forms his own political party and contests elections. If Ajit Pawar does what Eknath Shinde did with the help of the BJP, his politics will collapse like a sandcastle.
Ajit Pawar achieved a position in politics on the strength of his uncle
The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader alleged that Ajit Pawar achieved a position in politics on the strength of his uncle and now he is working to end his (uncle’s) political career. The Rajya Sabha member said that Sharad Pawar has taken a tough stand against the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi after meeting Ajit Pawar. He claimed that Sharad Pawar feels that supporting Modi is like supporting repressive forces and that political careers of those who have left his party will automatically end in future. Sharad Pawar will not make the mistake of going to the BJP’s side. This is not a matter of any particular person, but a matter of democracy versus dictatorship.
Ajit Pawar wants to become Chief Minister
Raut likened Ajit Pawar to a “woodpecker bird” that would “pierce” Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s chair and claimed that it was certain that Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis would act as the bird’s power. . He claimed that Ajit Pawar wanted to become the Chief Minister and BJP MLAs supporting Fadnavis felt that Shinde has now become a burden and the party (BJP) is suffering a lot because of him. Shinde’s claim that he has been promised to continue as chief minister even after 2024 is not correct because if it had been so, Ajit Pawar would not have been included.
