Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole made a veiled reference to Sharad Pawar's exit from Congress over two decades ago, and said the leaders who were entrusted with power by the Congress eventually betrayed it.
NCP chief Sharad Pawar's comment suggesting that Congress's situation was now like impoverished landlords who have no land and can not maintain their houses evoked a sharp reaction from Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole on Friday. Speaking to reporters, Mr Patole also made a veiled reference to Mr Pawar's exit from the Congress over two decades ago. "The leaders who were entrusted with power by the Congress eventually betrayed it," the state Congress chief said. "Congress was never a party of zamindars...Congress gave its land to several leaders for upkeep but they stole it over the years," Mr Patole added.More Related News
