“Ajit Pawar’s Future Bright with NCP, He Won’t Join BJP” says Sanjay Raut

GG News Bureau

Mumbai, 13th April. Sanjay Raut, leader of the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Bal Thackeray), stated that Ajit Pawar’s future is bright with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and that he may not join the BJP.

Sanjay Raut told the media on Wednesday, “NCP leader Ajit Pawar is a senior leader of the Nationalist Congress party.” I do not think he’ll do such things and then go along with them (BJP).

“Ajit Pawar’s political future is bright with NCP. So, there is nothing to worry about. He will not join them and not become a slave of the BJP. We have full faith in NCP leader Ajit Pawar,” he added.

Sanjay Raut also stated that discussions with Ajit Pawar and Nana Patole will take place in the coming days.

“On 16th May we have a rally in Nagpur and before that rally, we will talk with them,” he said.

“NCP Supremo Sharad Pawar is a guardian and we are with them. Yesterday I and Uddhav Thackeray had discussions with Sharad Pawar on many issues. Our connection is like fevicol no one can separate it. There is no confusion in it,” he added.

Sanjay Raut, leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT), welcomed Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s meeting with Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi.

“We as Oppositions leaders are together. I welcome Nitish Kumar and Tejasvi Yadav’s move to meet Congress Rahul Gandhi and Kharge. It is a positive step towards togetherness, all opposition will come together and fight,” he said.

On Tuesday evening, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray met NCP president Sharad Pawar at the latter’s Silver Oak residence in South Mumbai. The meeting was attended by Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut and NCP MP Supriya Sule. There was, however, no Congress leader present.

Ajit Pawar slammed Maharashtra Congress President Nana Patole on Wednesday, claiming that his comments caused divisions in Maha Vikas Aghadoi.

“Many a time, Nana Patole says things that lead to differences in the Maha Vikas Aghadi. If he has any objection, then instead of going to the media, he should raise it with Jayant Patil or Uddhav Thackeray.”

Patole denied the accusation, claiming that he had expressed his concerns to NCP state president Jayant Patil.

“Ajit Pawar is seemingly not aware of facts. We briefed their state president Jayant Patil. If he did not tell, then it is his fault,” he said.

Patole further said an alliance between the NCP and the BJP will weaken and undermine the fight against the saffron party.

“An alliance with the BJP will weaken the fight against the ruling party at the Centre and doesn’t bode well considering the larger picture (2024 Lok Sabha polls) but I do not think Ajit Pawar will join the BJP,” he said.
