Irked by the vacillating stance of Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) President Prakash Ambedkar over seat-sharing with the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance, senior Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction – NCP-SP) leader Dr Jitendra Awhad has reached out to Ambedkar, appealing him (Prakash Ambedkar) to ‘convey a different to the masses.’
NCP (SP) National General Secretary Dr. Jitendra Awhad in a letter to Ambedkar on Monday remarked that the next generation will not forgive them if the constitution is tampered given the current scenario.
Dr. Awhad pointed out how he always propagated the progressive ideas and ideology of great icons like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Mahatma Jyotirao Phule, Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj and Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, among the people of Maharashtra.
“We also have the legacy of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar. With full respect to that legacy, I would like to say that your goal and our aims are the same – that is, to save the constitution and democracy. We have to ensure that this priceless gift of Dr. Ambedkar is safe and we are ready to pay the price for it,” stated Dr. Awhad.
He cautioned that if the Constitution is tampered with and democracy is endangered, then the future generation will ‘never forgive us’, and urged Ambedkar to help convey a different message to the masses. The VBA however, so far has not reacted to Dr Awhad’s letter.
“Let’s have a meeting of all like-minded parties in the state on priority,” in view of the confusion prevailing over the VBA’s status in the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance, argued Dr Awhad.
The MVA leaders have pointed out that in the past few days, the changing stance, unilateral statements, demands and claims on seats or candidates, have led to doubts and uncertainties among the Congress-NCP (NCP-SP)-Shiv Sena (UBT) and other allies as they struggle to cobble an amicable seat-sharing arrangement.
