Senior Nationalist Congress Party leader Ajit Pawar on Monday said it was time to teach a lesson to the "traitors" who halted the good work being done by the Maha Vikas Aghadi in Maharashtra.

Pawar, who was speaking at a rally for the Chinchwad bypoll, was referring to the June 2022 rebellion of Ekanth Shinde, which brought down the Uddhav Thackeray government. Shinde became CM with the support of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
