Supriya Sule said she is very happy that Ajit Pawar wants to work for the organisational strengthening of the NCP
A day after Ajit Pawar said he does not want to remain the Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra Assembly and wants to immerse himself in party work, NCP working president Supriya Sule said as a sister she wants his brother's wishes to be fulfilled. Supriya Sule who always maintained cordiality with Ajit Pawar and dismissed rumours of any rift between them for party positions told reporters on Thursday: "I also want that Ajit dada's wishes to get fulfilled. It will be the decision of the organisation whether Ajit dada will be given a party position or not but I am very happy that he wants to work for the party. Our party workers will be encouraged. Whether he will be made the state chief or not depends on the party. But as a sister, I want my brother's all wishes to come true."
Former Maharashtra deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar who is now the Leader of the Opposition in the Maharashtra Assembly was not given any party post in the recent rejig while Lok Sabha MP Supriya Sule and Rajya Sabha MP Praful Patel were made the working presidents of the party. The decision hinted at an inside feud which was papered over by Sharad Pawar as he said Ajit Pawar himself took the decision of promoting Supriya Sule and Praful Patel to the post of working presidents. Sharad Pawar also said that Ajit Pawar was not given any party position because he already had the responsibility as the LoP.
