Mumbai: BJP state president Chandrakant Patil has responded to the NCP’s allegation that Ajit Pawar was deprived of his speech. Modi himself asked Ajit Pawar to deliver the speech, but Chandrakant Patil clarified that it was Ajit Pawar who refused. He further added that the dispute was “unnecessary”.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Sant Tukaram Maharaj Shila Mandir in Dehu. However, after this ceremony, we got to see a match between NCP and BJP. It so happened that Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar was also present in this program. However, he was not given a chance to speak in such a big event, alleging that this is an insult to Maharashtra. There were agitations against BJP all over the state. Now Chandrakant Patil told the exact incident that happened there.
Ajit Dada refused – Chandrakant Patil
Answering whether Ajit Pawar was stopped from speaking, he said, “If it was true then Ajit Pawar would have spoken at least once. I was there myself. When the organizers requested Modi to speak. Modi did not get up then. He told Ajit Pawar that you should speak. Then Ajit Pawar said that I have already said that I will not speak. I was right next door. Modi wanted Ajit Pawar to speak but he said that while the program was being published, I told him that I would not speak. No one is bigger than Modi. He himself said that Ajit Dada should speak first ”.
Politics should not be added to every issue – Chandrakant Patil
“Politics should not be added to every issue. This is a very common occurrence. There is nothing insulting about this, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Ajit Dada. That’s all there is to it. How Maharashtra was insulted by Ajit Dada’s refusal to speak. The President of Dehu’s Sansthan spoke, the President of Pandharpur and the President of Alandi paid their respects. Acharya Bhosale thanked. Where does the subject of Maharashtra’s humiliation come from? If Dehu’s Sansthan had not been allowed to speak, it would have been possible to do so. This has created unnecessary controversy “, said Chandrakant Patil.
