He further said, Mr. Sharad Pawar also pointed out that the failure of this experiment will lead to several rebel MLAs returning to their original party.
Mumbai: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) supremo Sharad Pawar on Sunday said that mid-term polls are likely in Maharashtra as the newly formed government led by rebel Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde may fall in the next six months.
He made the statement while addressing NCP legislators and other leaders of the party in Mumbai in the evening.
The NCP chief said”The newly-formed government in Maharashtra may fall in the next six months, hence all should be ready for mid-term polls,” according to an NCP leader.”
“Pawar said that many rebel legislators who are supporting Shinde are not happy with the current arrangement. Once the ministerial portfolios are distributed, their unrest will come out, which will ultimately result in the collapse of the government,” he added.
He further said, Mr. Sharad Pawar also pointed out that the failure of this experiment will lead to several rebel MLAs returning to their original party. If we have merely six months in our hands, NCP legislators should spend more time in their respective assembly constituencies.
Mr. Shinde was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra on Thursday following the collapse of the Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress government, while senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis took oath as Mr. Shinde’s deputy.
Meanwhile, another Sena MLA Santosh Bangar reached hotel Taj President in Mumbai last night and joined the Shinde camp.
