Amid the intense political drama in Maharashtra, NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Thursday visited Delhi for the party’s National Executive meeting.
A recent political development in the state involves the induction of nine NCP leaders, including Sharad Pawar’s nephew, into the BJP-Shiv Sena (Shinde camp)’s alliance. Ajit Pawar has been sworn in as the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra. During the inauguration of the new NCP office, Ajit Pawar used a photograph of Sharad Pawar, inviting criticism from his own uncle. “Those who betrayed my ideology and with whom I have ideological differences cannot use my photograph”, the veteran politician told the media.
Meanwhile, Ajit Pawar on Wednesday said he aspired to become the CM. “I was sworn in deputy CM five times. It is a record but the vehicle stops there, doesn’t proceed further. I feel from the bottom of my heart that I should become pramukh (cm) of the state.”
