Sharad Pawar, the Chief of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-SP), has recently addressed the ongoing Maratha reservation movement in Maharashtra. In a press conference held in Pune, Pawar clarified his stance and responded to criticisms made by Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) President Raj Thackeray.
With the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly elections on the horizon, tensions have been rising among political leaders in the state. Raj Thackeray, in particular, has been vocal about Pawar’s involvement in the Maratha reservation movement, suggesting that he should stay out of the ongoing unrest. Pawar, in response, emphasized that he does not need to try to prove himself, as the people of Maharashtra already know him well.
Thackeray had previously accused Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray of being behind an attack on his car in Marathwada. However, Pawar dismissed these allegations, stating that he has always worked towards positive changes in Maharashtra and is not involved in any such incidents. He also questioned Thackeray’s motives in bringing up his name in the ongoing political discourse.
Furthermore, Raj Thackeray accused Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray of using the Maratha reservation movement for their own political gains, leveraging the leadership of Manoj Jarange Patil. He alleged that Pawar had not utilized his relationship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address the reservation issue in Maharashtra.
The political climate in Maharashtra is heating up, with leaders engaging in accusations and counter-accusations. As the state gears up for the upcoming elections, it remains to be seen how these developments will impact the political landscape in Maharashtra.
