Mumbai: NCP supremo Sharad Pawar tore into the BJP on Saturday at a joint press conference of NCP and Shiv Sena that he and his party will never support or endorse the BJP while promising to take action against his party MLAs who defected under the leadership of his nephew Ajit Pawar to form a joint coalition government in Maharashtra.
”Congress, Shiv Sena and NCP leaders came together to form government. We had the numbers. We had our official numbers – 44, 56 and 54 MLAs with us who had supported the government. Several independent were also with us and we had numbers around 170,” Sharad Pawar on the ongoing process for government formation.
Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray described the stunning development as a “surgical strike” on Maharashtra.
Pawar also promised to take strict action against his party MLAs who betrayed him.
