Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday emphasized that Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar is unlikely to repeat the "mistake" made by his nephew Ajit Pawar in forming an alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), PTI reported.

NCP leader Ajit Pawar joined the Eknath Shinde-BJP government in Maharashtra last month as the deputy chief minister. Eight other NCP MLAs also took oath as cabinet ministers along with him.
