'Use only with permission,' says Sharad Pawar on his photo at Ajit Pawar faction's office

Mumbai, July 04: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on Tuesday took a dig at his nephew and rebel NCP leader Ajit Pawar, saying his photo should be used only with his permission.

"Those who are against my views, and with whom I have ideological differences, should not use my picture," Sharad Pawar said without naming his nephew Ajit.

 

His remarks came as Ajit Pawar inaugurated an NCP office on Tuesday, Sharad Pawar's picture could be seen there. The Ajit Pawar faction of the NCP moved into the new office on Tuesday after being locked out initially as keys to the bungalow were found to be missing.

Sharad Pawar also reiterated that Jayant Patil was the Maharashtra chief of the NCP. His assertion came even as the NCP faction led by Ajit Pawar announced that Lok Sabha MP Sunil Tatkare would be the party's state unit chief.

 

Sharad Pawar said that his photo could only be used by the NCP faction led by him, whose Maharashtra chief was Jayant Patil. It should be noted that similar war of word took place between Raj Thackeray and Balasaheb Thackeray.
