There were speculations in Maharashtra politics for a long time that something big is about to happen. But hardly anyone expected that Ajit Pawar could once again come together with Devendra Fadnavis. At the same time, the statement of NCP working president Supriya Sule has come on this. Whatever happened is sad, he said.
Said in a press conference in Mumbai late on Sunday night that Sharad Pawar treated everyone like a family and he is our senior leader. His response was that we are living in a democratic country where everyone has the right to speak and express his views. This step of Ajit Pawar is his own decision. My relationship with Ajit Pawar will not change, he will always be my elder brother.
Further Supriya Sule said that there was never any hatred or any misunderstanding inside the NCP. Ajit Pawar’s views were different and ours are different. We respect all our MLAs. I always talk to party workers and leaders, tomorrow also I will talk to them (party leaders and members).
Sarcasm on national investigation agencies
MP Supriya Sule took a dig at the National Investigation Agencies saying that in Maharashtra we call them ICE (Income Tax, CBI and ED). Most of the time they (national agencies) interrogate the opposition leaders. I never blame the officers who are working there but this was happening from the other side, I call these things ICE.
BJP remains in election mood for 24 hours
Further targeting the BJP, he said that the BJP remains in an election mood for 24×7 hours. The BJP, which called NCP a corrupt party, is now welcoming our leaders. I don’t want to comment on who will be the BJP candidate, I will focus on my work instead of peeping inside the lives of others. I am always with NCP and truth, I have to face such challenges every day. Ajit Pawar’s rebellion is a new challenge for me.
Ajit Pawar third wheel of failed double engine government
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Sunday took a dig at the Eknath Shinde-BJP government in Maharashtra, saying the failed double engine government now has a third wheel after NCP leader Ajit Pawar. He said that at present the fight in politics is between the selfish and the principled. Ajit Pawar on Sunday staged a forceful rebellion in the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), leading to a split and joining hands with the ruling Shiv Sena-BJP combine in Maharashtra to become the Deputy Chief Minister. Eight other party leaders were inducted as ministers.
We will send concrete documents as soon as possible
NCP leader Jayant Patil said that we have filed the disqualification petition before the Speaker and we will send concrete documents as soon as possible. This disqualification petition was filed against 9 leaders. He didn’t tell anyone that he was leaving the party which is against NCP. We have also written a letter to the Election Commission of India. We are not accepting it, these 9 leaders did not inform us before doing so (quitting the party). We are confident that most of the MLAs will come back to NCP and we will re-admit them.
