"Uddhav has no one with him," BJP's Chandrashekhar Bawankule takes jibe at UBT Sena Chief
Pune: Maharashtra Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) President Chandrashekhar Bawankule took a jib at UBT Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray claiming that he was left ro roam around with a bowl in his hand infront of the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance.
Speaking to ANI, Bawankule said "I said this yesterday and again I will say that I have never seen Uddhav Thackeray in such a condition where he had to walk around with a bowl in front of Maha Vikas Aghadi. Sharad Pawar has played all his politics. He wants Supriya Sule to be made the Chief Minister. Uddhav is such that he has to go the Congress and Sharad Pawar's residence. Uddhav Thackeray has no one with him right now, Sharad Pawar has left him with nothing. Balasahab Thackeray had said once that if he would have to go to the residence of Congress, he would shut the party down. People want development and only the Mahayuti government can do it and that is the sentiment of the people. Why can't Sharad Pawar announce Thackeray as the CM?"
On October 17, amid the Maha Vikas Aghadi's Chief Minister face talks for upcoming assembly election, Sharad Pawar, the chief of the Nationalist Congress Party (SCP), has hinted at a more significant role for Jayant Patil, the Maharashtra NCP-SCP president, in shaping the state's future.
Pawar emphasized that the journey to rebuild a progressive and developed Maharashtra will start from Islampur in Sangli and Jayant Patil should take the responsibility on his shoulders and the party and all his colleagues will back him.
This statement hinted that Patil can play a crucial part in the upcoming election period.
While addressing a public rally in the Islampur assembly constituency in the Sangli district of Maharashtra on Wednesday, Sharad Pawar said, "The bad picture of Maharashtra needs to be changed. We want a different Maharashtra. If I say different Maharashtra that means like of the vision of first Chief Minister Yashwantrao Chavan and to make such, many have made sacrifices like Vasant Naik, Rajaram bapu etc. They all wanted a powerful progressive state. But the people who are in power currently do not even think in the interest of Maharashtra."
Assembly elections in Maharashtra will be held in a single phase on November 20, the Election Commission of India announced on Tuesday (October 15, 2024). With this, the political parties have begun gearing up for an election that will be unprecedented in many ways.
