Maha govt’s Image Would’ve Been Different If Pawar Was CM: State Cong Leader

Mumbai: Maharashtra Minister and Congress leader Yashomati Thakur said that the government’s image would have been different if NCP chief Sharad Pawar had been made the CM of the state.

“Had Sharad Pawar been the chief minister of Maharashtra today, the image of the (government) would have been different,” Thakur said at an event in Amravati district on Sunday.

“Sharad Pawar has been the Chief Minister of Maharashtra four times, but today in this hour of need, we want him to guide us again. No matter how many attacks there are on us, Maharashtra will always remain stable,” she added.

Praising the NCP chief for attending the event in Amaravati even after the alleged attack on his residence recently, the Congress leader said your (Pawar’s) courage should be appreciated.

“Everyone here was curious whether or not you will be coming. You are older than us, but you are not tired. It is worth learning from you. It is our good fortune that you are present with us today. It is our destiny that you are with us today in this event even after such a big attack on your residence,” she said.

Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party and Congress have formed a coalition government in Maharashtra which is headed by Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray.

The attack on Sharad Pawar’s residence took place on April 8, when a group of workers of Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) tried to enter his residence and staged a protest by throwing stones and slippers in his place.
