Pawar, Sawant and the U-turn from the word ‘rickshawala’; Arvind Sawant sums up that I first put the word in Pawar’s mouth, but later I made ‘that’ statement.

Thackeray group MP Arvind Sawant said that, "At the time of the formation of Mahavikas Aghadi, Sharad Pawar had said that there are two Chief Ministers each in Congress. Prithviraj Chavan is Ashok Chavan. There are veterans in NCP, Chhagan Bhujbal, Jayant Patil, Ajit Pawar. So will you work under this rickshaw puller? Will you work under it? However, Uddhav Thackeray had given the name. No, it is Shinde for the post of Chief Minister. But then Sharad Pawar gave up. Uddhav Thackeray is the Shivdhanushya you have to take. Aren’t you running away from the battlefield? Then Uddhavji accepted Sharad Pawar’s word and Maharashtra."

ABP Mazha interacted with MP Arvind Sawant regarding the statement made in the meeting. ABP Mazha asked Arvind Sawant that Sharad Pawar mentioned ‘Rickshawala’ in the course of speaking. At that time, he retracted his statement. He said that "It was Sharad Pawar who urged Uddhav Thackeray that you should be the Chief Minister. Because who will receive this Shiva bow without you? Because these are all veterans. It is not possible to work together with the name you suggest. This is the state of affairs. Shinde was a rickshaw puller. That’s why we use that word." After that, he said, "I have mentioned ‘Rickshawala’. It is not a word used by Pawar, he says publicly. It is not the language of Sharad Pawar, it is the language of Shiv Sainiks.
