Digvijaya Singh slams Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar
"Mohan Bhagwat did not comment on the Political developments in Maharashtra, the country wants to know that Devendra Fadnavis had promised to send Ajit Pawar to jail, now he made him the Deputy Chief Minister. Is this how they want to work towards nation-building?" Digvijaya Singh said.
'Personal decision made by Ajit Pawar, the NCP party is against this'
NCP removed Ajit Pawar as the party's legislature unit head terming his actions were not in line with the party's policies, the decision was taken by the party's legislature in a meeting. NCP Chief Sharad Pawar also said the decision was Ajit Pawar's personal choice and the NCP does not back it. He also claimed he had no knowledge about the oath-taking ceremony until Saturday morning.
"While the discussions on certain incidents took place, a coworker from the party contacted me at 6:30 am in the morning and informed me that there is this oath-taking ceremony that is taking place in Raj Bhawan. He informed me that NCP party members under the leadership of Ajit Pawar have gone to the Governor to take the oath. This is a personal decision made by Ajit Pawar, the NCP party is against this. A true worker of NCP would never join hands with BJP," Sharad Pawar said.
