Help us! NCP MLA in Ajit camp calls Sharad Pawar

November 25, 2019 15:09

Anil Patil, the NCP MLA who was reportedly missing and brought to Mumbai from Delhi by NCP leaders today: "When we reached the hotel (in Delhi) at least 100-200 BJP workers were present there along with a lot of police cars and personnel in civil dress. We were scared. We told Sharad Pawar saab that we want to return and stay with the party. He assured us that we will be brought back and made the necessary arrangements."

NCP supremo Sharad Pawar today said that it is a fact that BJP did not have the majority and that is why they did not form government earlier. Speaking at a press conference in Karad, Pawar said, "It is a fact that BJP didn't have the majority and that is why they did not form the government. They (BJP) had even written to the Governor initially that they don't have the majority and hence would not form the government."

"We have been conducting meetings with our MLAs and our party NCP is not with the BJP in forming the government," he said.

NCP leader Jayant Patil along with Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde, Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan and others visited the Maharashtra Raj Bhawan today and said that they have given a letter showing the strength of 162 MLAs to the Governor.

"We are in a position to bring 162 MLAs before Maharashtra Governor at any given time," said Patil while leaving from Raj Bhavan.
