Sharad Pawar has suffered the biggest setback before the BMC elections. NCP Sharad Pawar faction’s Mumbai president Rakhi Jadhav has joined BJP today (Monday, December 29). He has met local BJP MLA Parag Shah. After this Rakhi Jadhav went to meet Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at his Varsha Bungalow.
For the past several days, the issue was being discussed as to whom Sharad Pawar’s NCP will support in Mumbai. Sharad Pawar had two options. One is Uddhav Thackeray and the other is Congress. However, in the meantime, BJP, playing a big gamble, took Sharad Pawar’s Mumbai President to its side. Due to this, Sharad Pawar’s party has got a big shock before the BMC elections.
Rakhi Jadhav was angry about seat distribution
Rakhi Jadhav has joined BJP in the presence of MLA Parag Shah. When there was a rift between Ajit Pawar and Sharad Pawar, Rakhi Jadhav supported Sharad Pawar. However, later there was resentment among them regarding the distribution of seats. Due to this Rakhi left Sharad Pawar.
It is being told that Rakhi Jadhav had given a list of 52 possible candidates to Sharad Pawar. He believed that NCP-SP would get at least 30 seats in the alliance. However, this did not happen. Rakhi Jadhav had expressed displeasure over the fact that senior leaders did not try to get more seats.
Now what will be Rakhi Jadhav’s next step?
If sources are to be believed, BJP may give ticket to Rakhi Jadhav from Ghatkopar. However, it is also believed that BJP workers can revolt in whichever ward Rakhi Jadhav gets the ticket from. This means that before the BMC elections, BJP’s own workers may get angry with this move.
