Sharad Pawar was speaking at a party meeting organised at Y B Chavan Centre to show his strength after his nephew Ajit revolted against him and joined the BJP-Shiv Sena government along with eight other NCP MLAs on Sunday.
“Those who join hands with the BJP and share power get politically destroyed eventually. To steadily weaken its political allies is the BJP’s policy.
There are enough examples of this in other states,” Sharad Pawar said.
“Akali Dal was with the BJP for many years, but now it is nowhere. Similar situations unfolded in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Bihar. In Bihar, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar realised it and switched to an alliance with the RJD,” the NCP president said.
“Those who have gone with the BJP now should not think that something different will happen,” he added.
Sharad Pawar’s supporters thronged his residence in south Mumbai ahead of the meeting. Outside Silver Oak, a party worker was seen carrying a banner that read: ‘83-year-old warrior waging a fight alone’.
