MUMBAI: Maharashtra minister Chhagan Bhujbal met NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar at his Mumbai residence on Monday, a day after making a veiled criticism of the opposition’s boycott of an all-party assembly on the Maratha quota difficulty. Bhujbal, a member of the rival NCP faction led by Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, visited Sharad Pawar’s ‘Silver Oak’ residence in Mumbai.
Bhujbal has not supplied any purpose for the assembly. On July 9, leaders from the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition, which incorporates the Congress, NCP (SP), and Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT), skipped the all-party assembly referred to as by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. The opposition claimed they weren’t consulted on the Maratha reservation difficulty.
Bhujbal had alleged on Sunday that the opposition’s absence on July 9 was attributable to a “telephone name from Baramati at 5 pm.” Baramati in Pune district is a stronghold of the 83-year-old Sharad Pawar.
Sources inside the NCP hinted that Bhujbal feels unheard inside the occasion. Though he’s a part of Ajit Pawar’s faction, he’s reportedly politically alienated inside the occasion.
Commenting on Bhujbal’s assembly with Sharad Pawar, state minister and BJP chief Sudhir Mungantiwar stated that, “It’s a customary observe in Maharashtra for political leaders to have interaction in discussions with each other no matter their ideological variations. It’s unjust to scrutinise each interplay between two leaders and draw untimely conclusions.”
NCP (SP) chief Jitendra Awhad remarked, “It’s a reflection of Sharad Pawar’s generosity that he allocates time to people who maintain contrasting views, even inside the public area. I’m not involved concerning the inner affairs of Bhujbal’s occasion. Let the assembly happen if he wishes to fulfill Pawar and he has granted him an viewers.”
In the meantime, Chandrashekhar Bawankule, the BJP state president, conveyed his assurance that Chhagan Bhujbal wouldn’t make any decisions that might hurt the Mahayuti alliance.
Bawankule acknowledged, “Bhujbal would inform what the assembly (with Sharad Pawar) was about.” He believes that Bhujbal will present readability concerning the aim and content material of his dialogue with Pawar.
