Whatever the final outcome of the present imbroglio in
Maharashtra is, the biggest beneficiary will be Deputy CM Ajit Pawar for sure.
Though there is a section in the state cursing him for ditching his uncle and NCP
chief Sharad Pawar but junior Pawar seems to have played his cards well. He has already been given clean chit in nine cases of Rs 70,000
crore irrigation scams immediately after joining hands with the BJP. So even if
the government fails floor test in the Maharashtra Assembly, any attempt to
implicate him by the BJP will prove to be detrimental and might expose the
party for opportunism which is already criticized by its supporters. So if the move of Ajit Pawar was intentional or due to
situation warranted it, there is no doubt about the move being a smart one.
Wild guess is also being made that Ajit Pawar is working on the advice of his
uncle Sharad Pawar as he knew that even if the Shiv Sena, the NCP and the
Congress government is made in Maharashtra, Ajit will be in trouble with law
enforcing agencies chasing him but this decision provided him immunity from any
such danger. (By Rakesh Ranjan)
