40 MLAs back Ajit Pawar for NCP-BJP alliance? Sharad Pawar responds


  • Sharad Pawar dismissed speculation about his nephew and former Maharashtra deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar's next political move.

Sharad Pawar's comments come a day after Ajit Pawar also dismissed as false the reports that he has called a meeting of MLAs on Tuesday, amid intense speculation in Maharashtra's political circles about his growing proximity with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Speaking to the reporters in Purandar area of Maharashtra's Pune district, Sharad Pawar said whatever discussions are going on in the minds of the media are not there in "our minds". "...There is no importance of all these discussions. The reports have no meaning. I can say about the NCP that all our colleagues are of one thinking of how to make the party stronger, and there is no other thought in anybody's mind," the party chief said.
