Big statement by maharashtra deputy cm Ajit Pawar!!!
maharashtra deputy chief minister ajit pawar said on wednesday (August 7) that if bjp and shiv sena had offered him the post of chief minister, he would have brought the entire nationalist congress party (NCP) with him. Speaking at the release of chief minister Eknath Shinde's biography "Yodha Karmayogi-Eknath Sambhaji Shinde", ajit pawar jokingly said that in politics he is senior to both chief minister Shinde and deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis. During this, Eknath Shinde and devendra fadnavis were also present on the occasion.
ajit pawar rebelled against his uncle sharad pawar in July 2023 and broke away from the ncp and joined the BJP-Shiv Sena government. ajit pawar said, "Everyone moved ahead and I was left behind. I jokingly told some people that when you (clearly pointing towards BJP) told Eknath Shinde that he should come with so many MLAs and he would be made the chief minister, you should have asked me, I would have brought the whole party along."
No one is like cm Shinde - Ajit Pawar
ajit pawar said, "Whatever happens in life is decided by destiny." Let us tell you that Eknath Shinde led a rebellion with 39 MLAs against the then shiv sena chief uddhav thackeray in 2022 and the Thackeray-led maha Vikas Aghadi government fell. After this Shinde became the Chief Minister. ajit pawar said that he has seen many Chief Ministers, but no one like Shinde, who is surrounded by people all the time.
According to PTI news agency, during this time deputy cm fadnavis said that he himself is such a person who became chief minister, leader of Opposition and then deputy chief minister during the same assembly term (between 2019 and 2024). Similarly, Pawar also became deputy chief minister, leader of Opposition and then deputy chief minister during the same period.
