Sharad Pawar loyalist Jayant Patil squelches talk of defecting

The Hindu  

Senior Nationalist Congress Party leader Jayant Patil on February 19 quashed speculation that he was planning to join the Bharatiya Janata Party ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. Rumours were rife that Mr. Patil, considered one of Sharad Pawar’s staunchest aides, was joining the BJP following senior Congressman Ashok Chavan’s recent defection. Likewise, Mr. Patil’s colleague, Baramati MP Supriya Sule, too, said the very fact that the names of the remaining Sharad Pawar-led NCP legislators were being spoken of as potential defectors only meant that the BJP, with all its poaching, “still felt insecure.” BJP State President Chandrashekhar Bawankule, while denying that he had met Mr. Patil and clarifying that the latter had not contacted the BJP, nonetheless said that the BJP would take any leader who wanted to join the saffron party. In August last year, after Ajit Pawar split his uncle, Sharad Pawar’s NCP, there were rumours that Mr. Patil had met Home Minister Amit Shah in Pune during the latter’s visit to the city. Mr. Patil, who was the NCP’s state president prior to Ajit Pawar’s rebellion in July last year, has always been considered close to Sharad Pawar and his daughter Supriya Sule and a political rival to Ajit Pawar within the undivided NCP.
