“Don’t increase the difficulties of the Mahayuti”
At the same time, Ajit Pawar said about Nitesh Rane’s comment during his speech at the Ganpati program in Navi Mumbai that everyone has the right to express their opinion. This right has been given by Baba Saheb Ambedkar. Be it the ruling party, the opposition or anyone else. Those who do not control their tongue should follow the rules. He said that no one should make statements to trouble the allies of the Mahagathbandhan. If someone says something, it does not mean that he has the support of the Mahayuti. A case has been registered against Nitesh Rane for the controversial comment.
Earlier on Wednesday, NCP Ajit faction spokesperson Suraj Chavan had said that our party’s identity is secular. There was some misunderstanding in the Lok Sabha elections, but people of the Muslim community have now returned to us. We are very strong in Mumbai. Whatever policies our leaders bring, they bring for everyone. In our eyes, everyone is equal, we do not support Nitesh Rane’s statement.
