Rohit Pawar slammed the Mahayuti government for putting up photos of political party leaders at the Chief Minister's official residence where members of the Indian Cricket team were invited after their T20 World Cup win.
«There are photos of political leaders. It seems as if they won the World Cup. The photos of the Indian team should have been put up. Secondly, are you asking for votes here on the success of the Indian team, these things are very wrong. It is not right to do politics. Let the Mahayuti do whatever they want. We will be welcoming the team with an open heart,» Rohit Pawar said speaking to on Friday.
Pawar said that since a lot of people had come to watch the World Cup winning team and to congratulate them during the open bus victory parade from Marine Drive to Wankhede Stadium, it led to people facing «little trouble» in some places. Pawar also claimed that the program was finalized at the last moment leading to inadequate time for preparations.'
«After talking to BCCI we came to know that the program of Mumbai was suddenly finalized there, so due to that the separate bus that we had to organize, be it decoration or putting stickers, it was not going to be done on time, so they had a readymade bus, they sent it and secondly, a lot of people had come there to watch the World Cup and to congratulate our Indian team. More than 2 lakh people were there, and in many places, people had a little trouble… In the future when such a big program is organized, then all these things need to be taken care of in
