Summary:
Mumbai, Sep 21 (PTI) Former Union minister and Shiv Sena leader Anant Geete has said NCP chief Sharad Pawar who had "backstabbed" Congress to form his party cannot be a "guru" for Shivsainiks.
He also said the tripartite Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government of Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress is just an "adjustment".
Pawar is considered the architect and anchor of the MVA government which came to power after the 2019 Assembly elections following a fallout between Sena and BJP, who had shared power from 2014 to 2019.
Addressing a public rally in his home turf Raigad on Monday, Geete said, “Sharad Pawar cannot ever be our leader as this government (MVA) is mere an adjustment.
Let people use as many accolades for Pawar but our "guru" is only (late) Balasaheb Thackeray”.
“As long as this government is functioning, it will go on...If we separate, our home is Shiv Sena and we will always stick with our party,” Geete added.
