Mumbai, Feb. 5 -- Shetkari Kamgar Paksha general secretary Jayant Patil slammed the BJP on Thursday over the "haste" to induct Sunetra Pawar as the Deputy Chief Minister followimg the tragic demise of Ajit Pawar.
Talking to mediapersons here, he expressed his reservations over the timing of the oath-taking ceremony, questioning both the party's stance and intent.
Patil alleged that those who seek votes in the name of Hindutva have lost all sense of shame and propriety. He argued that the Deputy Chief Minister's post was neither that of the Chief Minister nor the Prime Minister, and therefore there was no urgency that warranted an immediate swearing-in.
Patil questioned why the swearing-in could not have been postponed by at least 15 days...
