MUMBAI: Responding to BJP MLA Ashish Shelar’s revelation that a three-party coalition of the BJP, Shiv Sena and the NCP had almost been finalised in the year 2017 but could not proceed because of the NCP’s objection to the Sena, deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar asked on Thursday why Shelar had not mentioned this for the last five years.
“We are in 2022, why is he talking about it now? Since 2017, many leaders have switched parties and their statements are now different. Bringing out such old issues doesn’t make any sense, and no one is interested in this. There should be a discussion on issues facing the state and development works,” Pawar said.
