Mumbai, Nov 10: Frequent statements by the Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan on key ministries being with coalition partner NCP “will not help”, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has said.
“Chief Minister has all the powers. In the case of Shahrukh Khan's film (My Name is Khan), which ran into trouble with Shiv Sena, the then Chief Minister Ashok Chavan had taken the control of the Home Department,” Pawar, an NCP stalwart, recalled here on Wednesday.
In an apparent jibe at NCP, Chavan had said that some coalition partners in Delhi as well as in the state behaved as if they “own” their departments.
Earlier too, Chavan had said that to give home ministry to NCP in the state was “a mistake”.
Ajit Pawar also lamented the slow pace of infrastructure development in Mumbai
