NCP chief and former Union minister Sharad Pawar Sunday said Maharashtra was witnessing an unprecedented degree of political misuse of investigation agencies at the hands of state and central governments to coerce political leaders from opposition parties to join BJP ahead of state elections.
Pawar was speaking at the backdrop of several senior party colleagues, including former state party unit head Madhukar Pichad, Mumbai unit chief Sachin Ahir, women’s wing chief Chitra Wagh, and others quitting the party in last few days to join either BJP or Shiv Sena.
