NCP rattles sabres with RSS over Organiser article ascribing BJP’s poor General elections performance to alliance with Ajit Pawar

The Hindu  

After an article in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s mouthpiece Organiser ascribed the Bharatiya Janata Party’s alliance with the Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party faction as a prime reason for the former’s poor performance in the Lok Sabha election in Maharashtra, senior NCP leader and Maharashtra Minister Chhagan Bhujbal on Friday strongly questioned the RSS’ claims given that his party had been given barely four seats of the 48 Lok Sabha seats to contest on. Then, how can you say that the BJP’s alliance with us has affected its performance in the Lok Sabha election?” NCP leader Sunil Tatkare managed to retain his seat in Raigad while Ajit Pawar’s wife, Sunetra Pawar, crashed in Baramati, losing to Sharad Pawar’s daughter, Supriya Sule by a huge margin of more than 1.5 lakh votes Shivajirao Adhalrao-Patil, a leader from Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena faction was the NCP faction’s candidate for the Shirur seat, and contested the election on the NCP’s clock symbol. The Organiser article penned by RSS ideologue Ratan Sharda had squarely blamed the adhesion of Ajit Pawar’s NCP faction into the National Democratic Alliance fold as “a huge political blunder” on part of the BJP. While NCP working president Praful Patel said that the RSS article did not reflect the BJP’s position, NCP youth wing leader Sooraj Chavan – a close aide of Ajit Pawar - lashed out by saying the when the BJP did well in polls, credit was given to the RSS hard work, but the saffron party’s defeat was conveniently blamed on Ajit Pawar.
