NCP Leader Ajit Pawar Denies Him Joining BJP, Says Not Going Anywhere

NCP leader Ajit Pawar said the ‘rumour’ is being deliberately spread to create confusion among the NCP workers.

National Congress Party(NCP) leader Ajit Pawar on Tuesday accused media of spreading rumours about him joining BJP.

He denied  about any plan of joining the saffron party. 

"There is no truth to any rumour. I am with the NCP and I will stay with the NCP," Ajit Pawar was quoted by NDTV as having said. 
He also slammed that there is any rift in the NCP and Maharashtra's opposition alliance.

Pawar termed the “rumour” as a ploy to deliberately create “confusion” among the NCP workers.

"I want to tell them that don't worry, NCP has been formed under the leadership of Sharad Pawar, and there have been times when we have been in power or in opposition," the NDTV report quoted Pawar as having said.

Earlier, Ajit Pawar's uncle and NCP chief Sharad Pawar had brushed off speculation about a split and a meeting of MLAs willing to switch to the ruling Eknath Shinde-BJP alliance, the report said.

"There is no truth in the reports. Ajit Pawar didn't call any meeting. He is working for the party. This is all in your mind," Sharad Pawar was quoted as having said in the report.

Earlier, Pawar's daughter Supriya Sule had this morning hinted at "two big political explosions" in the next 15 days, intensifying the speculation swirling around her cousin Ajit Pawar.

"One (explosion) in Delhi and one in Maharashtra," Supriya Sule, a senior NCP MP and the daughter of party chief Sharad Pawar, told reporters, responding to Prakash Ambedkar's comment on "big political explosions in 15 days".

“You know what explosion. I live in reality. If you ask me about today, I can tell you. I don't know what is happening 15 days later," Sule had said.

"Why don't you ask Ajit dada this? I don't know about this. As a public representative, I have a lot of work. I don't have time to gossip,” she had said.
