NCP chief Sharad Pawar said that there was no question of him going with the BJP even if the Maharashtra government falls. 

Mumbai: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief, Sharad Pawar has said there was no question of him going with the BJP even if the Maharashtra government falls. This statement comes after political turmoil began to brew over Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde, and 26 other Maharashtra MLAs, camping out at a resort in Surat and going incommunicado after the results of MLC polls were declared yesterday.

In the MLC election, the opposition BJP came out on top. This is thought to be due to cross-voting by some MLAs. According to Sena leader Sanjay Raut, this was an attempt to destabilise Maharashtra’s Sena-led government.

Talking to the media, NCP chief, Sharad Pawar, said that his party was united and Eknath Shinde’s rebellion was the Sena’s internal matter. “I hope they resolve their differences soon. We are not scared,” he said.

“There is no question of going with BJP even if the Maharashtra government falls,” added Sharad Pawar.

Talking about the Eknath Shinde situation, the NCP chief said, “He never told us about his CM ambitions; I am sure Uddhav Thackeray will handle the situation.”

“There are no differences in the alliance and all have full confidence in the leadership of Thackeray,” he told reporters.

Sharad Pawar, the leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), claimed that this was the third attempt to destabilise Maharashtra’s Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government. He did, however, express confidence in Chief Minister Udhhav Thackeray’s ability to manage the crisis.
