Maharashtra Government Running Smoothly, Will Complete Full Term: Sharad Pawar

NCP chief Sharad Pawar said it is obvious that Congress, Shiv Sena and NCP will work to strengthen their bases and there is no misunderstanding

NCP chief Sharad Pawar today said the Shiv Sena-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in Maharashtra was running smoothly and it would complete its full five-year term. Speaking to reporters at Baramati, Mr Pawar said when this government (in which his own party and the Congress are constituents) came into existence, it was decided that it will run on a "common programme". "When a government is run, it is bound to face some issues. So it was decided then that in order to find a solution to the issues, there has to be a mechanism," said the veteran leader, who is said to be the chief architect of the Uddhav Thackeray-led dispensation that was formed after the 2019 Assembly elections. It was decided to give the responsibility to some leaders from three parties and as per the mechanism, Balasaheb Thorat and Ashok Chavan from Congress, Eknath Shinde and Subhash Desai from Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar and Jayant Patil from NCP were given this responsibility, Mr Pawar added.
