Shiv Sena (UBT)'s Sanjay Raut said Ajit Pawar-led NCP should merge with the NCP headed by his uncle Sharad Pawar. "Now that you have forged an alliance in Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad, Ajit should leave the BJP-led government," Raut said. He also asked why Ajit Pawar is in the Mahayuti government, a day after he alleged corruption in BJP-ruled PCMC.
