But ‘once bitten, twice shy’, they’re saying. While there are speculations that Dada might want to be part of the BJP throughout the coming future, Devendra Fadnavis should take care to avoid potential hazard or points very similar to those who occurred throughout the yr 2019 as a consequence of Pawar’s dramatic entry and exit from the BJP-NCP pairing. Notably, Ajit Pawar has time and again put a line via his celebration shift guesswork and stated that he would keep loyal to the NCP.
