Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) supremo Raj Thackeray has finally decided to break his silence over tumultuous developments in Mahrashtra politics.
He suggested that the recent political developments in Maharashtra may have the support of NCP supremo Sharad Pawar himself.
Speaking to reporters, Thackeray expressed his views on NCP leader Ajit Pawar and eight other MLAs joining the Shiv Sena-BJP government, causing a split in the Sharad Pawar-led party.
Raj Thackrey exclaimed "What has happened in the state is very disgusting....This is nothing but an insult to the voters of the state".
He continued further blaming Sharad Pawar "Sharad Pawar started all these things in Maharashtra. He first experimented with 'Pulod' (Purogami Lokshahi Dal) government back in 1978. Maharashtra had never witnessed such political scenarios ever. All these things started with Pawar, and ended with Pawar".
He further added, burnishing his statement "Praful Patel, Dilip Walse-Patil and Chhagan Bhujbal are not the ones who will go with Ajit Pawar (on their own and without Pawar senior's blessings)".
