With the weak opposition in Maharashtra, deputy CM Ajit Pawar The government has emerged as a voice of restraint, often the excesses are investigated by the alliance partner BJP. After Muslim groups objected to the visit of loudspeakers on the mosque of BJP leader Kirit Somaiya, to oppose the push for push Hindi in primary schools And criticizing the VHP-Bajrang Dal on Nagpur riots, Pawar is portraying clear lines that his tie-up is transacted with BJP, not ideological.
Pawar’s posture has triggered the debate within political circles, some have seen it as a position before future electoral talks, while others see it as a calculated attempt to maintain the identity of NCP (A) amidst ideological inconvenience. The party’s internal sources claim that Pawar wants to avoid separating the core voter groups, especially minorities and secular-mind voters. His tricks have also talked about a possible change in the 2024 equations in the unstable political theater of Maharashtra.
