A day after Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Member of Parliament Vijaysinh Mohite-Patil’s son Ranajitsinh Mohite-Patil joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the NCP youth wing has put up posters in different parts of the city asking how long the BJP will continue to nurse others’ children.
“Will you be nursing others’ kids forever? Or do you have plans to have your own?” asked the poster, put up by the youth wing of the Mumbai NCP. The poster said, “All those whom we rejected and threw out, you accepted.”
The posters were put up in front of the Maharashtra BJP office near Mantralaya, Garware Club in Churchgate, Mumbai Press Club, Worli Sea Link, the Shiv Sena Bhavan in Dadar, Sarvodaya Hospital in Ghatkopar, Shreyas Cinema signal on LBS road, Ghatkopar, R-City Mall, Ghatkopar, Vikhroli, Bhandup, Mulund, Powai and Lalbaug, among other places. The poster was initially posted on Twitter by NCP member of the Legislative Assembly, Dr. Jitendra Awhad. “I did it to tell the world what kind of dirty politics the BJP is playing. The party has no leaders of its own and is therefore poaching them from other parties to win the election,” he said.
Mr. Mohite-Patil is among the second-generation leaders from Congress and NCP families to join the BJP over disputes in seat-sharing. Earlier, Leader of the Opposition Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil’s son Dr. Sujay Vikhe-Patil quit the Congress to join the saffron party after the Congress and NCP failed to reach an agreement on the Ahmednagar Lok Sabha constituency.
