Chhatrapati Sambhajingar: “Sharad Pawar has systematically devised a plan to eliminate the Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray (UBT)group. To win more seats, there will be a demand for more seats. The biggest question in the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) is who will get more seats. The MVA is now facing a downturn and its beginning has been initiated by Pawar. He has attempted to show Uddhav Thackeray his place. The indications given by Pawar show that they do not accept him as Chief Minister (CM)," said Sanjay Shirsat, MLA and Shinde SenaSpokesman.
MLA Sanjay Shirsat was interacting with the media on Thursday.
Sharad Pawar made a statement recently that whoever has more MLAs will get the position of CM. Commenting on this statement, Shirsat said Pawar made statements indicating that the 'UBT group should sit in opposition in the upcoming Assembly.
Shirsat said Pawar's actions were often inconsistent with his words. He also indicated that Pawar showed interest in the position of CM.
