Amidst the swirling political landscape in Maharashtra’s Mahayuttit Raigad seat, NCP leader Sunil Tatkare has unleashed a blistering attack on his former colleagues, shedding light on the tumultuous events surrounding the formation of the Thackeray government.
Tatkare’s remarks come in the wake of mounting tensions and speculation regarding the dynamics within the government, particularly concerning the pivotal role of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. In a bold assertion, Tatkare asserted that the survival of the Mahavikas Aghadi government hinged crucially on Ajit Pawar’s appointment as Deputy Chief Minister, without which, he claimed, the government would have collapsed within a mere eight days.
Speaking candidly, Tatkare elucidated, “If Ajit Dada was not given the post of Deputy Chief Minister, the government of the Mahavikas Aghadi would not have lasted even for eight days.” He underscored the critical importance of Ajit Pawar’s leadership in maintaining cohesion within the coalition, asserting that his decision resonated with the sentiments of MLAs who favored a two-party government over a three-party arrangement.
Tatkare further alluded to the Supreme Court’s intervention, suggesting that the outcome could have been vastly different had it not been for the apex court’s ruling on the headcount decision. He emphasized the internal dynamics and potential unrest among MLAs, insinuating that Ajit Pawar’s appointment averted a potential crisis.
Moreover, Tatkare addressed the prevailing speculation surrounding Ajit Pawar’s elevation, dismissing notions of it being a gesture of kindness or mercy. Instead, he portrayed it as a strategic move vital for the survival and stability of the party.
In a cryptic allusion to undisclosed family discussions, Tatkare hinted at the intricacies of political maneuvering and the unseen forces at play. He cautioned against hasty judgments and emphasized the need for patience and time to unveil the full truth.
Tatkare’s remarks offer a glimpse into the inner workings of Maharashtra’s political landscape, shedding light on the complex interplay of power dynamics and strategic decisions that shape the state’s governance. As the political saga unfolds, Tatkare’s words serve as a reminder of the intricacies and uncertainties inherent in the realm of politics.
