Maha govt formed at night, will cease to be at night: NCP's Jayant Patil

November 25, 2019 09:20

Training guns at the newly-formed Bharatiya Janata Party-led government in Maharashtra, Nationalist Congress Party leader Jayant Patil on Monday said that the government which was formed at night will cease to be at night as well.

"A government that was formed at night, will cease to be at night. Only the chief minister (Devendra Fadnavis) and deputy chief minister (Ajit Pawar) are there in the government, so they are meeting each other. They will divide all the portfolios among themselves," Patil said.

Several leaders, including Jayant Patil and Chhagan Bhujbal from NCP and Shiv Sena's Eknath Shinde visited the NCP MLAs who are staying at Hyatt hotel in Mumbai.

"We will form a strong and stable government in the state. NCP chief Sharad Pawar and Shiv Sena's Uddhav Thackerey have spoken to the MLAs. They told them that the Shiv Sena, the NCP and the Congress have the majority and will soon form a government which will work for the welfare of the people," Shinde said.

Retorting to Ajit Pawar's remark on "BJP-NCP alliance", Bhujbal said he was trying to create a false perception among the people regarding the government formation in the state.

"Ajit Pawar had tweeted to create a false perception among the people, so Sharad Pawar took to Twitter to clear the party's position," Bhujbal said. -- ANI
