Ajit Pawar’s decision is against the party line and is indiscipline, says Sharad Pawar

NCP chief Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray addressed the media in Mumbai. Also present at the meet was Aaditya Thackeray.

NCP Chief Sharad Pawar said, Congress, Shiv Sena and NCP leaders came together to form Government.We had the numbers. We had our official numbers- 44, 56 and 54 MLAs with us who had supported the govt. Several independent were also with us and we had numbers around 170.

“Ajit Pawar's decision is against the party line and is indiscipline . No NCP leader or worker is in favour of an NCP-BJP government.”

“All the MLAs who are going must know that there is an anti defection law and the possibility of them losing their assembly membership is high.”

“NCP MLA Rajendra Shingane: Ajit Pawar had called me to discuss something and from there I was taken with other MLAs to Raj Bhavan. Before we could understand oath ceremony was complete. I rushed to Pawar Sahab and told him I am with Sharad Pawar and NCP.”
