Amid the assembly election campaign in Maharashtra, Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) chief Sharad Pawar took aim at the BJP and Prime Minister Modi. He said providing protection to people involved in corruption and joining them for power is the only agenda of the Modi government. Addressing a rally at Jintur in Parbhani, about 200 km from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Pawar said he cited state minister Chhagan Bhujbal’s alleged statement for his claim. Bhujbal, who is part of Ajit Pawar, led the NCP.
Sharad Pawar claimed that when Chhagan Bhujbal was asked why he was joining the ruling alliance, he stated that he did not want to go to jail. If we don’t want to go to jail, we will have to join Modi. He said if a minister says this, then it is clear that power is being abused against the opposition. Fake criminal cases are being registered to prevent the functioning of opposition parties.
BJP unites for power
Pawar alleged that the only agenda of Modi and his team is to protect people involved in corruption and join hands with them for power. Bhujbal, on the other hand, denied joining the BJP-led ruling coalition to avoid the ED probe. Along with this, he also said that he has not accepted anything similar.
Bhujbal is currently part of the Ajit Pawar faction. He had joined the Eknath Shinde-led government in July last year. Due to which a split emerged in Sharad Pawar’s NCP and the party split into two factions.
“Farmers no longer get fair prices for their crops”
The former Union minister said the previous Congress-NCP government in Maharashtra had waived loans worth Rs 70,000 crore to farmers, but now the situation is such that fair prices for soybean crops cannot be achieved. and cotton. For this reason the farmers of the state are in trouble.
Pawar said: We have to defeat the people in power.
At the rally, Sharad Pawar said that now the Modi government has decided not to allow export of sugar, which is part of its anti-farmer policy. If we have to oppose this decision, then we will have to defeat the people in power. Incidents of atrocities against women have increased; The Badlapur incident is the biggest example of this. When women are not respected or safe, then the current government has no right to remain in power.
