Baffled Pawar clears confusion for last; NCP Chief's nephew confirms he was and will always be with NCP!

Mumbai, November 27: While NCP Chief Sharad Pawar on Wednesday declared that Shiv Sena's Uddhav Thackrey would be the new Chief Minister of Maharashtra, NCP leader Ajit Pawar, who last week supported the BJP to form a short-lived government, said that he continues to be in his party and that there was no reason for anyone to create

confusion about it.

 

 

"I have nothing to say, I will speak at the right time. I had said earlier also, I am in the NCP and I will remain in the NCP. There is no reason to create confusion," Ajit Pawar. On his late Tuesday night visit to 'Silver Oak', his uncle and NCP president Sharad Pawar's residence, Ajit Pawar said, "It is my right to meet my leader."

 

The NCP legislator, who won the October 21 state polls from Pune's Baramati seat with a margin of 1.65 lakh votes, shocked his party and family last Saturday after he joined hands with the BJP and became deputy chief minister in the Devendra Fadnavis-led government.

 

The NCP subsequently sacked him as its legislature unit leader the same day. However, he continues to be a member of the party. This is certainly all after nephew Pawar on Tuesday resigned as Dy CM citing personal reason, following which BJP's Fadnavis had to step down as chief minister, leading to collapse of the BJP-led government.
