Unrest in the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) is palpable in the wake of a meeting between Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar, who had joined the BJP government last month. The Shiv Sena (UBT) and Congress did not appear to be satisfied with Pawar senior’s clarification that he would never go with the BJP and that the meeting with his nephew was a family affair that could not be a matter of news.
Pawar had made a similar statement on Sunday and reiterated it on Monday as well, after the MVA partners expressed their concerns in a strong manner. The Shiv Sena (UBT) MP and chief spokesperson Sanjay Raut, who is considered close to Sharad Pawar, was very straightforward and aggressive in demanding that the confused party workers, particularly of the NCP (Sharad Pawar), be given a clear picture by the ‘Bhishma Pitamah’ (the octogenarian leader).
