Tracking my moves,Maha Congress chief,Patole non-entity-Pawar

The rift between the partners of Maharashtra's ruling alliance became evident again when state Congress chief Nana Patole accusing Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and his deputy, Nationalist Congress Party's Ajit Pawar, of "keeping watch" on him. NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Monday said Patole was “a small leader whose comments do not warrant a response”. State BJP spokesperson Keshav Upadhaye said, “Pawar’s comment is an insult to Patole…Congress’ own ally is saying that Patole’s statement was not worth commenting upon.

Patole said Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray of the Shiv Sena and Home Minister Ajit Pawar from the NCP receive an intelligence report every morning and are shaken by the Congress’ moves to resurrect itself. At a Congress district committee meeting in Lonavala the Congress is resurrecting itself and the report is making the ground beneath their feet slip away. They receive reports about everything. Who is protesting where, everything needs to be updated. They even know what I am doing. The CM and Deputy CM are keeping a watch on me," added the leader who had joined the Congress from the BJP. However, later, he said his comments on being tracked have been misinterpreted. “I have not made any comment that the state government is keeping a watch on me. My allegations were against the Centre. I will make a clarification when I return to Mumbai,” he said.
