Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: NCP (SCP) chief Sharad Pawar , addressing a series of rallies on Saturday, accused BJP of indulging in divisive politics and, without naming agriculture minister Dhananjay Munde , counted him among three people responsible for the split in NCP. Pawar addressed rallies in Latur's Udgir, and Beed's Parli and Ashti constituencies on Saturday. Earlier in the day, Pawar spoke to reporters in Nanded.
Reacting to the "Batenge to Katenge" slogan, Sharad Pawar said: "Elections come and go, but no one should sow seeds of discord between castes and religions. Unfortunately, BJP and its allies are indifferent to this responsibility." He said politicians like Yogi Adityanath are brought in to campiagn in Maharashtra specifically for communal polarisation.
" Sharad Pawar also spoke about the internal disruptions in NCP and stated that three individuals fuelled mistrust and weakened the party. "There were two or three key figures who worked to sow the seeds of division and undermine trust within the party and the community. Those who split the party must be defeated in the upcoming elections," he told the audience at the Parli rally and urged voters to elect Rajesaheb Deshmukh.
Parli is represented by Munde. In Nanded, he criticised BJP Rajya Sabha MP Ashok Chavan, accusing him of aligning with opposition ideologies for political expediency. "The Chavan family has held prominent positions in Congress - from chief minister to defence minister.
What more could be off.
