Ajit Pawar is my leader, no plans to join BJP: Chhagan Bhujbal

State cabinet minister and NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal denied intentions of joining the BJP, reiterating his loyalty to Ajit Pawar. He also dismissed claims of tacit support from the state government to his movement for the OBC community. Bhujbal urged OBC leaders not to abandon the community on the reservation issue and expressed concerns about the impact of Maratha reservation on the OBC community. Efforts are being made to convince Pankaja Munde to attend the upcoming OBC rally in Hingoli, which is expected to be attended by over two lakh people.
