Pawar clears air, asserts he won't quit MVA; slams BJP
The Statesman|August 17, 2023
Clearing the air amidst claims that he had been offered a Union Cabinet ministry to switch sides, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar on Wednesday reiterated his loyalty to the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), and also launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Pawar clears air, asserts he won't quit MVA; slams BJP

“There’s no question of joining the BJP... I am very much with the MVA and we are preparing for the upcoming national Opposition alliance meeting in Mumbai,” Mr Pawar told mediapersons in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, scotching all political speculation.

He also rubbished reports that MVA allies Congress-Shiv Sena (UBT) have allegedly kept alternative plans ready to fight the upcoming Lok Sabha, Assembly or civic elections minus the NCP (SP).

Congress’ Leader of Opposition Vijay Wadettiwar and ex-chief minister Prithviraj Chavan had earlier contended that the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi had laid a precondition for state deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar that he could be the chief minister only if he succeeds in bringing along his uncle to the saffron fold.
