Pune, Oct 18 (PTI) Maharashtra BJP leader Laxman Dhoble on Friday said he plans to join the Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP) in the next couple of days, adding his move is due to the saffron party’s alliance with Ajit Pawar.
Dhoble, a former guardian minister of Solapur district, met Sharad Pawar in Mumbai during the day.
Dhoble said he had left the (undivided) NCP as he was “fed up with Ajit Pawar”.
“After joining the BJP, I have met with the same fate (due to alliance with Ajit Pawar). Therefore, I have decided to go back to Sharad Pawar. I will consult my supporters and decide in the next two days on leaving the BJP,” he said.
Asked if he was joining the Sharad Pawar faction to get a ticket from Mohol in Solapur district, Dhoble claimed he would work for the NCP (SP) even if he is not made a candidate.
