A day after Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar’s rally in Yeola — the Assembly constituency represented by Chhagan Bhujbal, his old party colleague – Mr. Bhujbal on July 9 questioned the purpose of the rally and clarified that the party rebellion took place in Mr. Sharad Pawar’s family and not because of him.
“Sharad Pawar saheb, why did you come to Yeola? I could not understand it. I am not responsible for the rebellion. It happened in your family,” Mr. Bhujbal, now a Minister in the Maharashtra government, said in Nashik.
Mr. Bhujbal, as an Other Backward Classes leader, highlighted his role in organising rallies and delivering speeches, suggesting that Mr. Sharad Pawar may have chosen Yeola for his rally due to Mr. Bhujbal’s presence there.
