Chhagan Bhujbal airing views in public as Shinde-Fadnavis govt ignoring him: Rohit Pawar
Rohit’s 800-km yatra, which aims to highlight the problems faced by the state’s youths, resumed on Friday after being temporarily suspended as the Maratha quota agitation peaked.
Rohit’s 800-km yatra, which aims to highlight the problems faced by the state’s youths, resumed on Friday after being temporarily suspended as the Maratha quota agitation peaked. A day after Maharashtra minister and OBC leader Chhagan Bhujbal alleged that it was Rohit Pawar and Rajesh Tope who forced activist Manoj Jarange Patil to continue his fast after the police lathi-charge, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader, who belongs to the Sharad Pawar faction, said the remark indicated the minister’s frustration.
Speaking to reporters during his Yuva Sangarsh Yatra on Saturday, Rohit Pawar said, “Bhubjal is a minister in the Shinde-Fadnavis government. Despite being a minister, he has to hold a rally and express his views. This is because the government is not ready to hear him out. As a result, he has to go before the public. This is the position of a senior leader like Bhujbal in the state Cabinet.”
Rohit’s 800-km yatra, which aims to highlight the problems faced by the state’s youths, resumed on Friday after being temporarily suspended as the Maratha quota agitation peaked.
The MLA, who is Sharad Pawar’s grandnephew, said that if the government does not care for a minister’s views, the plight of the common man can be imagined. “A minister has no value for this government… What can you then expect for the common man on the street?”
Rohit Pawar added that he will respond to the allegations raised by Bhujbal, who is the Food and Civil Supplies Minister, at the appropriate time.
At an OBC rally in Ambad, Jalna on Friday, Bhujbal had alleged that after the police lathi-charge in Antarwali-Saraati village, it was Rohit and Rajesh Tope who brought back Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange Patil from his home.
“After the police lathi-charge happened, Jarange Patil had gone to his home. But Rohit Pawar and Rajesh Tope brought him back and made him continue his fast. They told him that the next day Sharad Pawar would be meeting him,” Bhujbal said.
