The bungalow chosen by Ajit Pawar for the party office earlier belonged to Ambadas Danve, Leader of the Opposition in Maharashtra Legislative Council and a loyalist of Uddhav Thackeray.
Amid the brainstorming and posturing to unlock the leadership question within the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), the Ajit Pawar camp was left red-faced this morning over a missing bunch of keys.
As it takes on his uncle Sharad Pawar in the fight for the party's control, Ajit Pawar, now Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister, is to inaugurate a new party office near the state secretariat. But when leaders loyal to Ajit Pawar reached the new 'Rashtrawadi Bhavan at Ballard Estate, they had to wait for hours outside as they keys were missing.
Party leaders were seen sitting on chairs outside the locked doors as calls were made to track down the keys at the earliest.
The bungalow chosen by Ajit Pawar for the party office earlier belonged to Ambadas Danve, Leader of the Opposition in Maharashtra Legislative Council and a loyalist of Uddhav Thackeray. Mr Danve has now been allotted another bungalow.
