Maharashtra Deputy Minister Ajit Pawar gave candid answers to many questions at an India Today conclave on Wednesday. During this time, the five-time Deputy Chief Minister said that he wants to become the Chief Minister, but what if his car gets stuck on the Deputy Chief Minister? Apart from this, he also said that he is part of Mahayutthi and will cooperate with the BJP and Sindhis in the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections.
Ajit Pawar said I have discussed it with the people of Delhi. Joining the government was discussed with JP Nadda, Amit Shah and Narendra Modi or Devendra Fadnavis. There was no discussion with anyone else. I have nothing to do with what others are saying.
On the issue of staying in Mahayutthi, he said all three of us (BJP, Shivsena and Ajit Pawar’s NCP) will discuss the issue. Yesterday we also sat with Amit Bhai (Amit Shah). There has been discussion. Soon you will know how many seats the BJP wants to contest, how many seats Eknath Shindeji wants to contest and how many seats we want to contest. Our great alliance will not be broken. Fighting at Mahayutti. It is our effort to establish a Mahayutth government, it is our responsibility and we will fulfill it.
On opposing Sharad Pawar, he said we have stopped thinking about what has happened. We think ahead. Not thinking about it later. We are not the ones who can predict the future. We are working people. We want to work. Hopefully keeping Maharashtra on top. Well, we want to work towards providing central budget for any development work that is going on in Maharashtra. After allotment of seats in Mahavikas Aghadi and Mahayuti in Maharashtra, those who want to become MLAs will move there from here.
Like Nitish Kumar, you also have a record of serving as Deputy Chief Minister. Have you ever thought about becoming the Chief Minister? Replying to the question, Pawar said: “It has to be done. But what if our car gets stuck there? I tried to move on and also moved on. But I didn’t get a chance. Once the NCP got the 2004 One chance. But whoever sits on the chair is responsible for grabbing the seat if he likes it.
