Newly-appointed Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra Ajit Pawar today said he, along with other rebel Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MLAs, joined the BJP and Shiv Sena-led government as they believe the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led union government has been trying to take the country ahead for the last nine years. Maintaining that there was no split in the party, he said they would contest all the future elections on the NCP's name and symbol.
