After NCP leader Ajit Pawar took oath as the new Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, many Twitterati started tweeting their views. Many of them are terming the saffron party as the “Washing Powder BJP.”
They are pointing at Chhagan Bhujbal, who was jailed by the Enforcement Directorate in the Maharashtra Sadan Scam. The ED is following the case.
Another leader who supported Ajit Pawar’s decision to split NCP is Hasan Mushrif, whose residence located in Kolhapur was raided by Income Tax and ED officials.
Aditi Tatkare also stood with Ajit Pawar. She is the daughter of Lok Sabha MP Sunil Tatkare, who is facing corruption charges.
Dhananjay Munde, who served as the Minister of Social Justice in the Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government, is also facing a corruption case in the Cooperative Bank Scam.
Ajit Pawar and his wife are also suspects in a money laundering case being investigated by the ED.
