In other news, NCP chief Sharad Pawar said the BJP and its allies divide people when they have power, but their true role is to keep society united. “There are numerous examples of how they (the BJP) have deposed state governments, such as in Goa, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra.” “Everyone has seen what happened in Maharashtra after the Uddhav Thackeray-led government was depose,” the veteran politician added.

Meanwhile, in a dig at Pawar, Maharashtra BJP president Chandrashekar Bawankule said, “Pawar Saheb has always done politics and shown concern for three and a half districts in Maharashtra.” Unfortunately, Pawar is criticizing Modi, who has won the public mandate across the country. Instead of counting the number of states where the BJP is in power or not, Pawar should be concerned about his own organisation, which has failed to maintain national status,” Bawankule said.
