Advertisment
Soon after Devendra Fadnavis and NCP's Ajit Pawar took oath as Maharashtra Chief Minister and Deputy CM respectively, on Saturday, the Maharashtra politics witnessed a major drama. NCP chief Sharad Pawar said, "Ajit Pawar's decision to support the BJP to form the Maharashtra Government is his personal decision and not that of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). We place on record that we do not support or endorse his decision." Meanwhile, NCP and Shiv Sena address the media in Mumbai. Sharad Pawar said, "Shiv Sena and NCP leaders came together to form Government. We had the numbers. We had our official numbers- 44, 56 and 54 MLAs with us who had supported the govt. Several independents were also with us and we had numbers around 170." Adding, he said "Ajit Pawar's decision is against the party line and is indiscipline. No NCP leader or worker is in favour of an NCP-BJP government." "All the MLAs who are going must know that there is an anti defection law and the possibility of them losing their assembly membership is high," he added. Likewise, NCP MLA Rajendra Shingane said, "Ajit Pawar had called me to discuss something and from there I was taken with other MLAs to Raj Bhavan. Before we could understand oath ceremony was complete. I rushed to Pawar Sahab and told him I am with Sharad Pawar and NCP." https://www.ptcnews.tv/maharashtra-devendra-fadnavis-takes-oath-as-cm-ncp-ajit-pawar-as-deputy-cm/ "I'm sure Governor has given them time to prove majority but they won't be able to prove it. After that our three parties will form the government as we had decided earlier," said Sharad Pawar. He also said, "Parties had their MLAs list signed by all MLAs, a similar list of NCP was with Ajit Pawar, as he is CLP of NCP. I assume that he has submitted the same list. I am not sure about this but I suspect that this may be the case. We will discuss with Governor." "Today, a new NCP legislative party leader will be elected here at 4 pm," said Sharad Pawar. Also, he stated that action against Ajit Pawar will be taken as per the procedure. "I don't know if he (Ajit Pawar) has done this fearing investigating agencies or not. As per my source, 10-11 MLAs were there in Raj Bhavan and out of those, 3 are already here sitting with me," he said. -PTC News-
