TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar at the meeting of his faction of NCP leaders in Mumbai says, “I want to become Maharashtra chief minister to implement certain plans I have for people’s welfare.” “In the 2004 Vidhan Sabha election, NCP had more MLAs than Congress. Had we not given Chief Minister post to Congress at that time, till date, Maharashtra would have had a chief minister only from Nationalist Congress Party.
“In 2017 too, we had a meeting at Varsha Bungalow. On the orders of the senior leaders of the party, Chhagan Bhujbal, Jayant Patel, I and several others had gone there. Several leaders from BJP were also there. There were discussions among us over cabinet portfolio allocation and positions of Guardian Ministers. But later our party took a step back.”
Taking a dig at at 83-year-old Sharad Pawar, the Maharashtra Dy CM said, “In BJP, leaders retire at 75.” However, he called Sharad Pawar as ‘our deity’ and said his faction sought Pawar’s blessings. Ajit Pawar said BJP came to power in 2014 only due to Narendra Modi’s charisma.
