Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) working president Supriya Sule on June 30 criticised Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP’s) fixation on her father and party supremo Sharad Pawar and cousin Ajit Pawar, amid ongoing verbal sparring between the two parties regarding the formation of a short-lived government in Maharashtra in 2019.
Expressing her dissatisfaction with the ruling coalition in the State, the Baramati Lok Sabha MP asserted that the BJP lacked both a National and State vision. “The BJP has no vision either for the country or the State,” she said.
“I am flattered that the Centre’s and State politics revolved around my father and brother. The BJP is so obsessed with them that they have no time to chart out a vision for the country’s and the State’s development. How will they reduce inflation and create jobs?” she asked.

Ms. Sule also condemned Tamil Nadu Governor R. N. Ravi’s move of dismissing Cabinet Minister V. Senthil Balaji and described it as ‘dictatorship’. “He acted as if he was the Governor of the BJP, not Tamil Nadu,” she said.
Stating that BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had no time to take measures to reduce inflation or ensure women’s security, but wanted to speak on issues which were not relevant in the present context, Ms. Sule said unless Mr. Pawar was targeted there was no news.
She was responding to a query about the ongoing verbal sparring between Mr. Fadnavis and the NCP over the formation of government in 2019 with Mr. Fadnavis as Chief Minister and Mr. Ajit Pawar as his deputy which lasted less than 80 hours.
