By Saurabh Vaktania: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Wednesday reacted to Sharad Pawar’s resignation as Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief and said that the latter had resigned from his post and not the party. Sanjay Raut added that he would continue seeking Pawar’s guidance.
He said that his party is keeping a close watch on the political developments within the NCP and he has discussed the matter with party chief Uddhav Thackeray.
Raut said, “Sharad Pawar has not retired from politics. I know him. He will continue to work for the party, Maharashtra and the nation. He has resigned from the post and not the party. We met Uddhav Thackeray and yes, we discussed the situation.”
“We will take Sharad Pawar’s guidance whenever needed,” Raut further added.
Talking about Sharad Pawar’s book, Raut said, “Whatever is written about Uddhav Thackeray by Sharad Pawar will be his personal opinion. Very soon Uddhav Thackeray will be giving an interview in Saamana and answer all questions regarding the same.”
Sharad Pawar in his book has said that Uddhav Thackeray failed to quell the discontent within his own party and resigned from the post of Maharashtra CM without giving any fight. Sharad Pawar in his book has said, “We anticipated there would be a storm within the Sena due to Uddhav Thackeray becoming CM.”
Sanjay Raut went to Karnataka’s Belgaum for campaigning on Wednesday. Belgaum is at the border of Maharashtra and Karnataka and is the cause of a border dispute between the two states.
Sanjay Raut said, “I am going to Belgaum in Karnataka for campaigning. It is our commitment. All the border places should be part of Maharashtra. Maharashtra CM should also consider this. He earlier said that he had been jailed for the same. Belgaum Police have a warrant against me. First I will have to go to court and cancel the warrant. State CM and DCM should do something for Belgaum.”
