Sanjay Raut, Shiv Sena (UBT) UddhavThackeray ressponds to Sharad Pawar’s remark over Ajit Pawar meet
In the process while the Opposition bloc INDIA are setting up a united front amid plans for next big meeting in Mumbai, trouble is looming in Maharashtra.
Reportedly, the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray), a key member of the Opposition alliance in Maharashtra, is not trickled by Sharad Pawar’s meetings with nephew and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, weeks after his rebellion split the veteran’s party.
Although, Pawar claims that no plans are a foot to join hands with the BJP, his ally is making no bones on its disapproval with the meetings.
Sanjay Raut, Rajya Sabha MP and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader, responded to Pawar’s remark that there isn’t anything wrong in him meeting his nephew.
Admittedly Sharad Pawar clears that Ajit Pawar is his
nephew and can meet him. Why are their followers fighting on the streets then?”asked Raut. In what seemed to be a swipe at the veteran leader, he said, they don’t put up appearances by sitting with another party’s leaders as their workers fight.
The Team Thackeray leader describes Pawar as the “Bhishma Pitamaha” of Maharashtra politics saying that he shouldn’t do anything that
generates doubt in the minds of people.
As per SanjayRaut, they had spoken to Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole over Pawar’s meet with Ajit Pawar.
Raut’s remarks comes after his party’s mouthpieces Saamana which said it is “amusing” to see Ajit Pawar’s frequent meet with Pawar and the latter not avoiding it.
The mouth piece further added that there is a hunch that BJP’s ‘Chanakya’ is attempting to create some confusion by sending Ajit to meet senior Pawar.
However, such meetings camouflage the image of Sharad Pawar and it is not in good taste.
The veteran politician has asserted that his meeting with Ajit Pawar is a family meeting and that he has no plans to change camps.
Addressing the media after meeting his nephew, Pawar said, as the national president of the NCP, he is making it clear that his party (NCP) will not go with the BJP. Any association with the Bharatiya Janata Party does not fit in NCP’s political policy.
He went on to add that some “well-wishers” are attempting to persuade him but he will never align with the BJP.
Im the midst of the flutter caused by the meeting, he said, that he wants to a fact that Ajit is his nephew. There isn’t any wrong meeting his nephew.
If a senior person in a family desires to meet another family member, there should not be any issue with that. There’s nothing wrong if Ajit Pawar comes to meet him.
The meetings are being keenly watched by the Opposition front which is planning its next meeting in Mumbai on August 31. Pawar, one of the key forces behind the Opposition coming together to form a united force against the BJP, says there is no confusion within th Maharashtra alliance over his meetings with Ajit Pawar.
Last month In a shocking development, Ajit Pawar and eight other MLAs from Sharad Pawar’s party joined the Eknath Shinde-led government. Since then, several MLAs of NCP have announced support for the Ajit Pawar camp as his uncle fights to retain control over the party.
