Ajit faction rules out reconciliation chances with Sharad Pawar-led NCP
Maharashtra minister and rebel NCP leader Hasan Mushrif said the decision has been taken and the ties have been severed and there is no going back
Maharashtra minister and rebel NCP leader Hasan Mushrif on Thursday (October 5) said there may not be any possibility of the Ajit Pawar faction to reconcile with that led by Sharad Pawar.
“The decision has been taken. The ropes of retreat have been cut," Mushrif said, using a Marathi phrase which means ‘burning one's bridges’, when asked by reporters about the possibility of returning to the Sharad Pawar camp.
Mushrif, who joined the Shiv Sena-BJP government in the state along with Ajit and a few other Nationalist Congress Party leaders in July, is currently the minister for medical education and research.
Notably, the Sharad Pawar-led NCP has been maintaining that there is no split in the party.
