Pawar underlined that the NCP`s immediate focus would be to strengthen its organisation and ensure a strong performance in the twin civic bodies; Maharashtra Chief Minister Fadnavis said the ruling Mahayuti alliance was working to contest the civic polls together in most parts of the state

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Ajit Pawar on Monday reacted to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis`s remarks on seat-sharing in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad, saying any stand taken by the Chief Minister would have been made after due consideration and would be final for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), reported news agency ANI.
"If the Chief Minister has said this, he must have said it after careful consideration. The Chief Minister is the supreme leader of the BJP in Maharashtra. Whatever he has said will be final," Pawar said, responding to Fadnavis`s indication that the BJP and NCP may contest the civic elections separately in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad, reported ANI.
