NCP (SP) Maharashtra president Shashikant Shinde has claimed his party chief Sharad Pawar and other leaders had no prior knowledge about NCP leader Sunetra Pawar’s swearing-in as the state’s Deputy Chief Minister.
He also said that after the recent civic elections in the state, a decision was made to pursue the unification of the two parties.
Sunetra Pawar (62), wife of Ajit Pawar who died in a plane crash in Pune’s Baramati town on January 28, was on Saturday sworn in as the first woman deputy CM of Maharashtra.
Sharad Pawar did not have prior knowledge about her swearing-in, Shinde told reporters on Saturday.
“There had been discussions and meetings on the two NCPs coming together. But Ajitdada is no more. Some broad positions had been discussed earlier. Now, we will discuss what needs to be done and then make a decision. How others respond is their call,” he said.
