NCP founder sharad pawar took a dig at ajit pawar for making an indirect reference to his action against the then maharashtra CM Vasantdada Patil in 1978. On monday (December 25), he said that it was not a rebellion, but a decision taken with mutual consent. In the year 1978, sharad pawar had separated from the government along with 40 MLAs, due to which the Patil government fell. On July 18 that year, ncp chief sharad pawar took oath as the Chief Minister. He was the youngest person to hold this post at the age of 38.
Ajit Pawar, who split the ncp and joined the Eknath Shinde government on July 2, had taken a dig at sharad pawar in Baramati on sunday (December 24), saying that his stance is after crossing the age of 60, while some people He started on this path at the age of 38. The deputy chief minister had claimed that Yashwantrao Chavan had opposed Sharad Pawar's move because a leader like Vasantdada Patil had been sidelined.
Ajit Pawar had said, “Vasantdada was a good leader but he was sidelined and experimented with the Janata Party. Therefore, it is not that no one has taken the kind of step that I have taken before. I took such a decision after crossing the age of 60, so everyone needs to understand my stand.
Countering this, sharad pawar said, “There was no rebellion in our time. We used to sit and take decisions. Therefore there was no question of this kind (rebellion). This was a decision taken with mutual consent, so there was no question of anyone complaining.”
