Rohit Pawar posts tweet urging people to hear a piece on truth, amid NCP merger talk

The issue of a merger of the Nationalist Congress Party, which had been on the back burner for some days, has heated up again. Praful Patel met Sharad Pawar when he was unwell, and the question of unification came up after that. After being discharged from Breach Candy Hospital, senior leader Sharad Pawar began a round of meetings. Leaders of both NCP factions went to meet him. Parth Pawar came to see him twice.

Given these developments, analysts claim that the curtain is about to rise on the first act of an NCP merger scripted by the BJP. Meanwhile, MLA Rohit Pawar has struck a different note.

On Monday, Rohit Pawar had reacted to the merger talk. He had said his conversation was about personal matters, health and the drought, and that he discussed nothing else. On the merger, he said, neither had he said anything nor had the other person.

On the accident involving Ajit Pawar, Rohit Pawar said he had doubts because the investigation was moving at a slow pace and not progressing quickly. According to him, this is why he suspects that those in power are not investigating in the right direction. He said he would make an important presentation on November 15, which would bring the necessary facts before everyone. Rohit Pawar said more than 90 per cent of the people in the state believe it was not an accident but foul play, and that not even an FIR has been registered so far. He also said that if anyone in Maharashtra is speaking out against the BJP and those in power, he is.

Rohit Pawar had claimed that the merger talk was going on only in the media and in Ajit Dada's party. According to him, there was no such discussion in his party.

Rohit Pawar has now posted a tweet. In it he wrote that a piece that came to him on WhatsApp, to the effect of "If truth is your deed, failure does not dare to stop you", is deeply meaningful, inspiring and strengthens the resolve to struggle. He has appealed to people to listen to it.

It is being seen as a big message conveyed through this tweet. Speculation has now begun on whether a major decision on the NCP merger is coming, and whether he will choose a separate path.
