The Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar) officially denied BJP MP Narayan Rane's claim to a local Marathi TV news channel here on Friday that NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar may walk out of the Congress-backed Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) and join hands with the BJP-backed Mahayuti after the Maharashtra assembly election results are declared.
Reacting to the allegations, Sharad Pawar said, "The person who made the allegations was in jail for several months. Only the BJP can prompt such a person to make false allegations."
The top court also instructed the Ajit Pawar-led faction to “learn to stand on its own legs” and maintain individuality of the parties.
Sharad Pawar pointed out that the opposition’s campaign for the Maharashtra Assembly elections has started.
Following the meeting, senior Congress leader Balasaheb Thorat expressed optimism, stating, “The impasse will soon be resolved."
Pawar's remarks came amid a war of words between the BJP and the Congress-led Opposition over the January 22 consecration ceremony.
