TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on Monday said there was a need to fight the forces creating communal divide in Maharashtra and the country.
Addressing NCP workers and supporters in Karad a day after his nephew Ajit Pawar led a vertical split in the party to become the deputy chief minister in the Eknath Shinde-led government, Sharad Pawar also said, “Some of our people fell prey to the BJP’s tactics to break other parties.”
“Attempts are being made to create communal divide in Maharashtra and the country. We need to fight forces that create fear among peace-loving citizens,” he said. “We need to protect democracy in the country,” he added.
Sharad Pawar visited the memorial of his mentor and Maharashtra’s first chief minister Yashwantrao Chavan in Karad and paid floral tributes to him. The 82-year-old leader’s visit to late Chavan’s memorial ‘Pritisangam’ on the occasion of Guru Purnima is being seen as a show of strength by him, a day after Ajit Pawar led a vertical split in the NCP.
