Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar said on Wednesday that the Bharatiya Janata Party`s attempt to form a government with his nephew and NCP leader Ajit Pawar had one benefit as it ended the President`s Rule in Maharashtra in 2019.

Addressing a press conference at Pimpri Chinchwad, Pawar said had the exercise not happened, the President`s Rule would have continued in the state.
