We have never had that happen with NCP. In response to which Ajit Pawar said – If someone criticizes me, keep criticizing me. It doesn't matter to me. I only focus on work and believe in work. Sharad Pawar group said – Mahayuti no longer needs Ajit group NCP (SP) spokesperson Clyde Cresto said – Sawant's comments show that Mahayuti no longer needs NCP. The RSS mouthpiece asked the BJP why it formed an alliance with Ajit Pawar. The BJP cadre is also asking the same question. The time has come for the BJP to throw out the NCP from the grand alliance. It is high time that Ajit Pawar wakes up and realizes the situation. BJP will gradually wean Ajit Pawar out of the Mahayuti. All is not well and the cracks are growing day by day. NCP Ajit group leader said- Tanaji will stay in Mahayutti or else NCP NCP spokesperson Umesh Patil demanded Tanaji Sawant's dismissal. He said- Mahayuti will be either Tanaji in the cabinet or NCP. If Tanaji is not sacked then we should leave the Mahayuti cabinet. Patil said- Ajit Pawar should not attend any Cabinet meeting until Sawant is sacked. Our ministers should also boycott cabinet meetings until Sawant is sacked. We will not accept Sawant's apology or his statement.
