A day after Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Ajit Pawar said that he would “100% like to be the chief minister”, Maharashtra deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday said there is nothing wrong with anyone wanting to be a chief minister, but not everyone can become one.
Reacting to the NCP leader’s statement, Fadnavis said: “I have not seen Ajit Pawar’s interview. There is nothing wrong with anyone aspiring to be a chief minister, many like it but not everyone can. We wish him all the best.”
Who would not like to be chief minister? And Ajit Pawar is capable of becoming chief minister. He has been in politics for so many years now and has been minister several times. He holds a record for having served as deputy chief minister for the most number of times. Everyone thinks one should become the chief minister,” Raut said.
“The inference is clear. He (Ajit) is running out of patience and making it clear that he is not willing to compromise,” a senior NCP legislator said, seeking anonymity.
