We believe in the ideology of Pawar Sahab, but others too look at him with great hopes and are therefore joining him.”
“I and my other colleagues from Bhosari assembly constituency who were holding different positions in the party’s city unit have resigned and we would announce our further course of action on Wednesday,” unit chief Ajit Gavhane had earlier told TOI.
Gavhane had shown interest in contesting the upcoming Maharashtra assembly election from the Bhosari constituency. However, with the current MLA from Bhosari, Mahesh Landge, likely to receive the Mahayuti ticket, Gavhane decided to join the NCP (SCP).
