‘Big East Vidarbha Leader’ Praful Patel delayed Ajit Pawar's travel plans, says his party leader

Mumbai, Feb 12 (UNI) The “big leader from East Vidarbha” who was supposedly the cause behind the late Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar delaying his originally scheduled plan to travel from Mumbai to Pune by car is none other than senior Ajit Pawar-led NCP leader Praful Patel, an Ajit Pawar-led NCP Maharashtra state vice president Pramod Hindurao told media persons today.
Ajit Pawar-led NCP leader Pramod Hindurao's statement was also confirmed by Sharad Pawar-led NCP MLA Rohit Pawar who shared more details about it later on Thursday, by making allegations about Delhi-based aircraft charter company VSR and a political consultant Naresh Arora, known to be close to Ajit Pawar-led NCP leader Praful Patel, who allegedly arranged for the ill-fated aircraft.
Incidentally, both Pramod Hindurao and Praful Patel are leaders of the Ajit Pawar-led NCP. As claimed by Ajit Pawar-led NCP leader Pramod Hindurao, senior Ajit Pawar-led NCP leader Praful Patel happens to be the “big leader from East Vidarbha” who met the late Ajit Pawar which led to a delay in his travel plan.
