MNS chief Raj Thackeray on Friday said that "despite being with" NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar all these years, Maharashtra deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar never indulged in caste politics, as reported by news agency PTI.

Though Thackeray and his party is not contesting the Lok Sabha elections, he is supporting the ruling coalition of the BJP, Ajit Pawar-led NCP and Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena,
