NCP leader Ajit Pawar took oath as Deputy CM in the Shinde government in Maharashtra on Sunday. After this, Ajit Pawar claimed that the NCP party and symbol belonged to him. Shortly thereafter, NCP president Sharad Pawar said that he was the president of the party. Some MLAs who went to Raj Bhavan with Ajit also got a call, they said that we were called saying something else. Some of them have said that we are with you. Action will be taken against those who have worked against the party. Today’s incident has come to the fore after PM Modi had talked about a big scam in the cooperative.
Let us know the claims made by Ajit Pawar and Sharad Pawar –
party with
Ajit- I have a whole party with me. Talked to Sharad Pawar on the phone as well. I have the support of all MPs and MLAs of the party. Regarding the assembly and Lok Sabha elections, we will be with the NDA. Everyone should come together for the development of the country. That is why we have taken this decision as a party. New people have also been taken in the cabinet. All MLAs and MPs from the party are with us. The party and the election symbol are mine. Will contest elections on the symbol of NCP only.
Autumn – I haven’t talked to anyone. Some people are claiming that we are the only party, there is nothing like that, the truth will come out in a few days. I am the party president. People will decide whose NCP is. People would know that earlier there was no NCP, I have formed this party. Let anyone say anything, people will decide whose party it is. We will go to the public. If someone takes the name of the party, we will not quarrel with him. This is not a new thing for me.

Leadership
Ajit- From 1947 we saw that the country moved forward under one leadership. Sardar Patel was with Nehru. After that Lal Bahadur Shastri ran the country. Then Indiraji gave direction to the country. Even after two and a half years of Emergency, the government came under his leadership. Then the government came under the leadership of Rajiv Gandhi. Since 1984, the country has not got any single leader whose leadership is acceptable to all. But for the last 9 years, the country is moving forward under the leadership of Modiji. Modi ji is praised even in foreign countries. Vande Bharat train, National Highway are being built. The opponents are only thinking of their respective states. There should not be any one leader who is thinking about the country. Somewhere in the opposition there is Congress against Mamta, in Delhi there is Congress against AAP. Nothing special will come of such opposition unity. The opposition against Modi is scattered.
fall- there’s nothing like this. There are many leaders in the opposition. They only wanted to go with BJP that’s why they are saying this. The people of the country are not liking what Modiji is doing.
Election
Ajit- Regarding the assembly and Lok Sabha elections, we will be with the NDA. Everyone should come together for the development of the country. That is why we have taken this decision as a party. New people have also been taken in the cabinet. All MLAs and MPs from the party are with us. The party and the election symbol are mine. Will contest elections on the symbol of NCP only.
fall- I have faced rebellion before. After the elections in 1980, the party I was leading had 58 MLAs elected. After that 52 MLAs left the party. I was left the leader of only 5 MLAs. I ran the party with only those five. In the subsequent elections, I brought 78 people to victory. Of those who left the party, 45 lost the election. That’s why what I did then, I will show doing the same now.
Shinde on going with the government
Ajit- Talks about it were going on for many days. The way the conditions are in the country, development should be given priority. PM Modi has been doing many things for the development of the country for the last 9 years. I felt that we should also support them. That’s why I joined NDA. Maharashtra needs a development leadership. Shinde government is also doing many works of development. Bhujbal and I gave importance to development. Maharashtra should continue to get the support and money of the Centre. That’s why we took this decision. The party is also with us. We had formed the government with Uddhav as well. So what is wrong in going with Shinde. We have the experience of running the government. We want to give its benefit to the people of the state. Party MPs and MLAs are also with me.
Autumn – Modiji had talked about the irrigation scam. It was said that the NCP leader is involved in this corruption. Today the leaders of NCP have been included in the government. I’m glad his allegations were all wrong. I am thankful to Modiji for this. The role that some people have chosen to go with the government is against the ideology of the party. It is chosen by Ajit. A meeting of prominent leaders of the party has been called on July 6, in which they will talk about changes in the organization. Our real strength is the workers. They work hard and make us win. Chhagan Bhujbal told me that what is happening is not right. Now he himself has taken oath. ED cases are going on all of them, fearing this they have gone to the government.
what to do next
Ajit- In future too, we will fight all the elections on the name and symbol of the party. This happened in Nagaland as well. There also the 7 elected MLAs of our party had decided to go with the BJP. Many people will say different things, we do not need to answer them.
fall- You will remember that even before the 2019 assembly elections people were leaving the party but we made more people win. I am getting calls from all over the country saying that we are with you. I got calls from Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Mamta Banerjee, all of them talked about supporting me. That’s why I’m not worried about what happened. I will go out tomorrow and visit the samadhi of Yashwantrao Chavan. After that, I will go around Maharashtra and create public opinion. It will be my job to reorganize and I will do it together with the workers. What will be the role of the party going forward, I will tell after talking to the leaders of the party. It is more important whether you have the support of the people or not. I am sure that if we go to the people, they will come with us. Let me see who is his team. New elections will be held then the new team of my party will appear.
action against party opponents
I have chosen Sharad-Praful Patel and Sunil Tatkar as general secretaries. I would like to tell him that he is working against the party. I have to take action against him as he has acted against the party. He has cheated me. I haven’t talked to anyone. There has been no talk with Ajit Pawar either.
