Mumbai: A day after targeting Uddhav Thackeray for his ‘chowkidar chor hai’ comment, RSS-backed Marathi daily ‘Tarun Bharat’ has now trained its guns on NCP chief Sharad Pawar.
The strongly-worded, bitter editorial calls Pawar “Maharashtra’s shrewd, opportunistic and conniving leader”.
The paper takes potshots at Pawar’s political aspirations and writes, “Even in this old age, his political aspiration for gaining power has only been rising. If there is anything he has mastered, it is the art of speaking the right thing at the right time. His politics has always been based on selfishness. The only image he could earn in all the eight decades of his existence is that of distrust. He never does what he says, and never speaks of something he is planning to do.”
Commenting on Pawar’s politics, it said, “He didn’t have any problem to unilaterally announce support to the BJP during the last elections. Just the way he does not have qualms about singing paeans of Sonia Gandhi after separating from the same party over two decades ago because of her.”
The paper goes on to say that Pawar is an opportunist who has now suddenly discovered the sacrifices made by the Gandhis.
