Pawar failed to groom a successor, claims Saamana

Mumbai, 8/5: An editorial in Shiv Sena (UBT)’s mouthpiece Saamana that NCP supremo Sharad Pawar failed to groom a successor has sparked off a war of words within the Maha Vikas Aghadi, the anti-BJP coalition of Maharashtra.

The NCP and Congress slammed Saamana editor and Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Raut, who is a close aide of Shiv Sena (UBT) head Uddhav Thackeray.

 

In fact, Raut was a bridge between Pawar and Thackeray crafted the MVA comprising NCP-Congress Democratic Front and the undivided Shiv Sena.
