Ajit Pawar, the deputy chief minister of Maharashtra, was attacked on Thursday by the Shiv Sena (UBT) and the Sharad Pawar-led NCP for traveling to Delhi to meet with Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The head of the opposition in the state Legislative Council, Ambadas Danve, said that Pawar had previously criticized BJP officials for having to go to Delhi in order to make decisions.
According to the Sena (UBT) leader, Ajit Pawar, who formerly had his own aura, must now kneel before the Delhi Durbar. On Wednesday, Ajit Pawar and senior NCP figure Praful Patel met Shah for the first time since leaving Sharad Pawar’s party to join the Shiv Sena-BJP administration. Patel described it as a polite call.
Sanjay Raut, the head of the Shiv Sena (UBT), questioned when Maharashtra’s leadership began traveling to Delhi. You criticized the Delhi high command when the Congress was in charge and it issued instructions. What’s different now? The once self-respecting leaders now have to go to Delhi to make decisions about everything from cabinet enlargement to portfolio distribution. Mahesh Tapase of the Sharad Pawar-led NCP said that given the impasse in the state over portfolio distribution, it was unexpected that a politician of Ajit Pawar’s prominence had to fly to Delhi to speak with the BJP high command. People used to line up outside Ajit Pawar’s office to get jobs, according to Tapase.Shah was the brains behind the Shiv Sena-BJP-NCP coalition, according to Sanjay Shirsat, a leader of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, therefore Pawar and Patel paid him a courtesy call.
