Ajit Pawar and Patil have been in a war of words with Industries Minister Narayan Rane, with the junior Pawar responding to Rane’s challenge of “exposing” the NCP by saying that Rane appeared to have lost his mental balance.
“We are allies in the Centre and have been allies in Maharashtra since 1999. We are allies in the Goa government. We are contesting the Assembly polls in Goa together where our seat-sharing talks are almost complete. However, the Congress and the NCP are in an electoral battle in some places. My plea to party workers... is to show restraint and refrain from making personal attacks against the Congress party and its leaders,” Pawar told a news conference here. He did not name Ajit Pawar or any other NCP leader.
Saying that the NCP as well as the Congress are expected to add to their individual strength in various parts of the state during the upcoming polls, Pawar said the two parties have to work together once elections are over. “There is a role we have to play together,” he said, adding that the other parties too should display some control while on the campaign trail.
