At that time, MP Supriya Sule had also gone to Ajit Pawar's bungalow for a meeting. But after some time she was out of the bungalow. Jayant Patil revealed what happened at that time. Interestingly, Sharad Pawar had resigned from the post of party president just a few days before Ajit Pawar came to power. There was talk that Ajit Pawar and Supriya Sule knew about Sharad Pawar's resignation. Jayant Patil was asked about this. Are all the decisions of NCP taken in Pawar family? This question was asked to Jayant Patil. He gave a detailed response on this.
“The decision to come to power with BJP has not been taken in NCP. Ajitdad took this decision. At that time I did not know that Supriya Sule had gone there. I didn't even ask him later why he had gone there?", explained Jayant Patil. He said, "I didn't even realize when the Ajit Pawar group decided to go with the BJP. That day they A meeting was called by calling the MLAs. At that time many MLAs called me. Are we going there? I said if they have called then go. There is no problem in going. I am at my home. When you have work there. If anyone goes, come to me. Some MLAs who became ministers also called. I asked everyone to leave”, revealed Jayant Patil.
He said, "Sharad Pawar's decision to resign is his own decision. He did not tell anyone about this. When all other decisions have to be taken, it is Sharad Pawar's tradition to take decisions after asking everyone. Jayant Patil replied that if any worker comes to him asking about this issue, he will take a decision.
Should Sharad Pawar stay?
“What Ajit Dada said, we have to stop somewhere. But where to stay is everyone's choice. Now even at the age of 84, if he wants to work, it is his choice to stop or not. Which is their question. That's why Ajit Pawar feels that one should stay somewhere in politics. But this is their question. Everyone has a choice. I will decide where to stop. How can I speak of another? At this age, a person like him with wide experience and whose intellect is completely sound and can work with full efficiency, has done the same work throughout his life. Working in it means enhancing one's life and enjoying it, it is not right to ask them to stop that work”, said Jayant Patil.
"Sharad Pawar still has tremendous energy, will and power to work. He has studied every nook and corner of the entire Maharashtra. I don't think there is anyone in the politics of any state in India who is so Be experienced, respect the parliamentary process, work resourcefully in politics. Respect the opponents, communicate with anyone, no matter how much opposition there is, communicate when faced", said Jayant Patil.
