"We Should Not Have Taken Support Of Ajit Pawar," Says BJP Leader | Read

With just a day left for Shiv Sena's Uddhav Thackeray to take oath as the new Chief Minister of Maharashtra, a senior BJP leader and former state minister has in hindsight suggested the BJP should not have taken into confidence Ajit Pawar, the nephew of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar. "My personal opinion is that BJP should not have taken support of Ajit Dada Pawar. He is an accused in the massive irrigation scam and faces many allegations, so we should not have allied with him," said BJP leader Eknath Khadse, who has served as minister of several departments such as excise, Waqf and fisheries, among others.
