Sharad Pawar Taught Us How To Form Govt With Fewer MLAs: Uddhav Thackeray

Mumbai: Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray said his colleague NCP chief Sharad Pawar said that he taught him how to develop at least and how to form a government after winning fewer seats than one’s opponent.

Thackeray was addressing the annual general meeting of the Vasantdada Sugar Institute here. Pawar, who is the president of the institute, was also present.

During his speech, Thackeray castigated former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who has often said that the BJP is the single largest party in the assembly, although it lost power.

Shiv Sena chief Thackeray quipped, “Sharad Pawar has taught us how to develop more than an area with less land, and how to form a government with less number of MLAs.”

The BJP and Shiv Sena contested the assembly elections together on October 21, but their alliance broke when the Shiv Sena stepped out and joined hands with Congress and NCP.

Thackeray also slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“I was told that this was the same place where someone said that he had entered politics by holding Pawar’s finger.

“I don’t want to say that Pawar saheb has made another mistake by bringing me into politics,” he said.

Modi said at a function in the institute a few years ago that Pawar, the then Agriculture Minister in the UPA government, had given him a lot of guidance when Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujarat and unfamiliar with Delhi politics.
