Rebel NCP leader Ajit Pawar asserted at a Karjat event that his decision to join the Shinde-led Maharashtra government was backed by Sharad Pawar, who allegedly urged him during a family discussion. Ajit criticized the episode surrounding Sharad Pawar's brief resignation as party chief, deeming it a "nautanki" or farce. He disclosed that a reconciliation meeting was attempted, questioning the need for protests against the decision. Ajit Pawar also addressed Anil Deshmukh's 'supari' claim, stating Deshmukh stayed with Sharad Pawar's group for ministerial prospects. Ajit suggested the timely discussion of the Uniform Civil Code and population control.
