Sanjay Raut, Sharad Pawar make new claims on history of wrangling over Maharashtra CM’s post

The Hindu  

As Lok Sabha polling in Maharashtra draws to a close, a series of “disclosures” are being made by opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi leaders like Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar and Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on the Chief Minister’s post in the recent political past. Mr. Raut claimed that when the undivided Shiv Sena, headed by Uddhav Thackeray, decided to ally with the Congress and Sharad Pawar’s undivided NCP, several Congress and NCP leaders like Ajit Pawar, Dilip Walse-Patil and Sunil Tatkare — all part of the present Mahayuti government — had opposed Mr. Shinde being made CM. Later, when the MVA coalition was formed, NCP chief Sharad Pawar and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi felt the MVA should choose a leader who has the support of all three parties,” said Mr. Raut, whose Sena is locked in a bitter struggle with CM Shinde’s rival Sena faction, particularly in the fifth and final phase of the polls in the State on May 20. Mr. Bhujbal said that after the 2004 Maharashtra Assembly results, top Congress leaders like the late Ahmed Patel and Margaret Alva said that though the Congress was amenable to the idea of an NCP Chief Minister and had no issues with Mr. Bhujbal occupying the top post, it was Mr. Pawar who nixed the idea.
