A day after rebellion in the NCP, Sharad Pawar sacked party's working president Praful Patel and general secretary and treasurer Sunil Tatkare, who have sided with Ajit Pawar in his revolt, for engaging in "anti-party” activities.
Eight additional NCP MLAs, in addition to Ajit Pawar, have been sworn in as state cabinet ministers. Hassan Mushrif, Chhagan Bhujbal, Dilip Walse Patil, Dhananjay Munde, and Aditi Tatkare are the newly elected ministers.
Sharad Pawar on Monday said that key NCP leaders will take a call on Ajit Pawar's desire to be assigned a party role instead of the responsibility of the Maharashtra LoP.
Ajit Pawar in his address at the 24th Foundation Day event of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) held in Mumbai attended by his uncle Sharad Pawar and other senior leaders said that he was not interested in holding as Leader of Opposition in Maharashtra.
The manner in which the Delhi police handled the protest by women wrestlers (who have accused BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of sexual harassment) and rising incidence of crime against women in Maharashtra were proof of the 'insensitivity', Sule said.
Pawar on Friday received a death threat through Twitter. Following this, he appealed to party workers to maintain "peace at all costs." NCP leadership took the matter to Mumbai Police. CM Eknath Shinde also assured to take action.
The development comes weeks after the buzz that Ajit Pawar may revolt against NCP to support the NDA government but somehow it did not happen. However, NCP leadership said Pawar has no objection on Sule's elevation.
