Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Ajit Pawar said on Saturday that there have been no discussions regarding seat sharing so far within the ruling alliance for the upcoming Lok Sabha and Assembly elections.
He said the tripartite Mahayuti government, comprising Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, and NCP faction of Ajit Pawar – is stable as all 200 MLAs are united, and the State is doing well under the leadership of Mr. Shinde.
After a recent bout of dengue lasting 15 days, Mr. Pawar dismissed allegations that he was feigning ‘a political illness’ and had aired a few complaints to Union Home Minister Amit Shah. “I suffered from dengue for 15 days. However, some people claimed I had a ‘political’ illness, it was nothing like that,” he asserted.
