Sanjay Raut said Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar would meet.
Stunned by an early morning coup in which the BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis took oath as Maharashtra chief minister, the Shiv Sena said it was “stabbed in the back” by Ajit Pawar of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), who was also sworn in as Deputy Chief Minister.
Ajit Pawar, the nephew of NCP chief Sharad Pawar, had been present in meetings to form a coalition of the Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress till yesterday.
“This has been nothing but a stab in the back of the people of Maharashtra,” said Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut. “Ajit Pawar was there in the meeting yesterday, but late last night his phone was suddenly switched off and even the NCP don’t exactly know what happened suddenly.”
Sharad Pawar has claimed that Ajit Pawar’s move was his “personal decision” and not that of the NCP. However, the entire NCP is believed to have backed the Devendra Fadnavis government.
“I am certain that the decision taken by Ajit Pawar has nothing to do with Sharad Pawar. What Ajit Pawar has done will never be forgiven by Chhatrapati Shivaji and the people of Maharashtra,” said Mr Raut.
He said Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar would meet and address a press conference.
Last night, after the first meeting of the Shiv Sena, NCP and the Congress, Sharad Pawar had said there was a consensus on Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray becoming chief minister.
In a stunning twist this morning, President’s Rule was revoked at 5.47 am and Devendra Fadnavis took oath as chief minister for the second time, shortly afterwards.
