Ajit Pawar, the leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), stated on Thursday in jest that while dealing with his uncle Sharad Pawar, the head of the NCP, he would learn from Raj Thackeray, the leader of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS).
In an interview with Thackeray that was conducted by Amruta Fadnavis, the wife of Maharashtra’s deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, and NCP Member of Parliament Amol Kolhe, Ajit Pawar responded to Thackeray’s “advice” to him.
According to Thackeray, Ajit Pawar ought to treat his uncle with the same respect that he does other people.
When questioned about the comment by reporters in Pune, Ajit Pawar said, “The way Raj Thackeray paid attention to his own uncle, I will also pay attention to my uncle.”
Notably, the MNS leader broke up his relationship with his late uncle, Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray, in order to create his own organization.
