Maharashtra: Sanjay Raut interviews NCP chief Sharad Pawar

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Monday interviewed NCP chief Sharad Pawar for the former's party's mouthpiece 'Saamana'. Taking to Twitter, Raut, who is the executive editor of the daily, said that he conducted a "marathon interview" with Pawar.

According to Raut, the NCP leader openly expressed his views on events from China to Maharashtra. Raut stated that the "strong" interview was done in 'Saamana' style and it will be published and aired soon.

According to sources, the interview was conducted as part of a strategy by the Maha Vikas Aghadi to pitch Sharad Pawar's name for the post of President in 2022.

On Friday 5 corporators of Ahmednagar district's Parner Municipal Corporation quit Shiv Sena party & joined NCP in presence of deputy CM of Maharashtra Ajit Pawar. This has said to have created an internal rift in the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government. 

Also another incident that created rift in the party emerged when NCP chief Sharad Pawar and Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh on Monday called on Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, a day after the state government revoked the home department's order to transfer 10 DCPs of Mumbai Police.

The Shiv Sena & NCP had formed a Mahavikas Aghadi with the help of Congress and came to power.
