Mumbai: Discussions are going on among NCP workers that Ajit Pawar and his supporters are being sidelined in the party organization for the last few years. In addition, Ajit Pawar is not very aggressive as the leader of the opposition, there were open discussions in the party by the anti-Ajit Pawar group. The main thing is that many people in the opposition group of Ajit Pawar are taking care that they do not come under the radar of the central agencies by having very cordial relations with the senior leaders of the ruling party. Ajit Dada’s supporters say that the top leadership is constantly listening to the supporters of Ajit Pawar in NCP.
Ajit Pawar took a very aggressive stance and tried to convince the workers after Sharad Pawar announced his decision to leave the post of party president in a function held in Mumbai recently. Sharad Pawar’s supporters say that he took such a stand only because he was told that he would stick to his position. Two days later, after Sharad Pawar reversed the decision, Ajit Pawar was deliberately made a villain in the party. Ajit Pawar and his supporters were upset because of this.
Ajit Pawar’s opponents gained more strength after Supriya Sule was made the working president of Maharashtra in the party convention in Delhi. Because of this, Ajit Pawar’s supporters were very angry. Finally, Ajit Pawar has cleared the way for this anger of the supporters in front of all the major leaders in the party meeting, and the anti-Ajit Pawar group has got a big panchayat.
Meanwhile, Jayant Patil has been working as the regional president for the past five years. There is a provision in the constitution of the party to change the post of state president after every three years. So what role will Sharad Pawar take after Ajit Pawar’s statement today? This has been noticed.
Ajit Pawar gave an aggressive speech at NCP’s anniversary event. He expressed all his thoughts in front of the senior leaders of the party. Seeing this aggressive avatar of Ajit Pawar, the discussion has started that he has pushed Jayant Patil and some other leaders of the party.
I was never interested in being the leader of the opposition. I became the leader of the opposition due to the signatures of the party MLAs and the insistence of the leaders. He has held the responsibility of the Leader of the Opposition for a year. Some people say that I am not strict while managing them. Now to be strict means to hold their hand? So, after releasing me from the responsibility of the leader of the opposition party, I should be given any responsibility of the organization. I will do justice to that post. Of course, this is the right of the leaders. Many others express different wishes. I have expressed my desire today. Till date, I have fulfilled the responsibility given by the party”, said Ajit Pawar.
