Maharashtra coup: DCM Ajit Pawar's posters removed from NCP office

While the posters of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar were removed from NCP office, his followers were raising banners at several places, saying that he would soon become the chief minister of the State. In the melee, the Shiv Sena (Uddhav) has blamed the BJP for unveiling a tricky political game to replace CM Eknath Shinde with Ajit Pawar soon.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) : The posters of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar were removed from NCP office on Monday, a day after he broke away from NCP supremo Sharad Pawar and joined hands with the ruling Shiv Sena (Shinde) and BJP government in the State. Amid claims of Ajit Pawar over his faction being the main Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Sharad Pawar's group has decided to move a disqualification petition against his rebellious nephew.

Giving strong indications of repelling any move by Ajit Pawar to hijack their party, NCP (Sharad Pawar) faction had removed the posters of the breakaway leader from the premises of their party office. Following this, the Shiva Sena (Uddhav Thackeray) leaders have claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was behind the latest political tremors in Maharashtra.
