Sharad Pawar congratulated Eknath Shinde during an event in Delhi on Tuesday – sharp criticism from the Allied Shiv Sena (UBT). The UDDHAV Thakkeray led that the faction claimed that the move had damaged the “feelings of Marathi population” and considered the Deputy Prime Minister as a “enemy of Maharashtra”.
“Certain things must be avoided in politics. Sharad Pawar did not congratulate Shind … he congratulated Amit Shah. This is our feeling. Giving such an honor to someone we regard as an enemy of Maharashtra is a shock for the pride of Maharashtra, “Pawar said otherwise, but such politics did not go well with the people of Maharashtra,” said Party MP Sanjay Raut.
Shinde was honored on Tuesday with the Mahadji Shinde Rashtra Gaurav Puracshar during an event in Delhi. The prize was awarded by Pawar in the presence of Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia during the 98th Akhil Bhartiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan.
'Do the feelings of the Marathi people'
Raut also argued that the feelings of the Marathi people were injured by the decision. Pawar leads the reception committee of the literary meeting that is planned to start next week. The leader of Shiv Sena (UBT) argued, however, that Pawar should not have attended the event, because Shinde had overthrowed the Government Government of Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress in 2022 in 2022 in 2022 by taking refuge by taking refuge in 2022 in 2022 in 2022 in 2022 in 2022 in 2022 in 2022 in 2022 in 2022 to “Begryal”.
“You (Sharad Pawar) are a senior politician and we respect you. But those who split Balasaheb Tackeray's Shiv Sena with the help of Amit Shah and weakened Maharashtra, you honor such people. This has damaged the feelings of the Marathi people. We don't understand your Delhi politics, but we also understand politics, “Raut added.
In the meantime, the reigning BJP claimed that congratulations was an admission to the NCP (SP) head that 'shindy was a better minister -president than Uddhav Thakeray'. NCP (SP) MP Amol Kolhe said Raut could express his personal opinion.
'No political need'
“He showed statesmanship, where people do not bring politics into everything everywhere. I don't think something is wrong with that. He is the president of the event (reception committee), “he noticed.
NCP (SP) leader Rohit Pawar also called Raut's response 'surprisingly' in view of the fact that Maharashtra has the tradition of the civilized politics of Yashwantrao Chavan and Bal Tackeray, and senior Pawar in advance, never allowing soci-cultural to become programs. Due to political differences.
