The former close aide of NCP supremo Sharad Pawar has claimed that the later held talks with BJP using senior party leaders and later backtracking.
Chhagan Bhujbal, who was one of the closest aides of Pawar is now a minister in Maharashtra.
“I want to ask you about events from 2014 till today. You told Ajit Pawar, Praful Patel, Jayant Patil to go to Delhi. Hold discussions and ask for ministerial berths as well as MLA and MP seats. Even Jayant Patil was in that list. What happened now?” Bhujbal was quoted as having said by The Indian Express.
He alleged that all those who are making speeches from Pawar’s stage were also signatories on a letter to join hands with the BJP, the report said.

Pertinently, Pawar held the first public rally after announcing that he will rebuild the party at Yeola, which is the Assembly constituency of Bhujbal.
“At Yeola, you apologised to people for giving me the tickets. But in that case, how many times will you apologise? From Bhandara to Kolhapur? Because all 54 were ready. It was you who showed this way to us,” alleged Bhujbal, the report mentioned.
“The people gathered here in itself is proof that the NCP is with Ajit dada and the NCP president is Ajit dada,” said Bhujbal, as per the report.
According to the report, Bhujbal reiterated that all NCP MLAs had signed on a letter extending support to the BJP, claiming it was Sharad Pawar since 2014 who has been showing this way of pushing us towards the BJP.
