Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) working president Supriya Sule singled out her estranged senior colleague Praful Patel as she dismissed the childish and laughable allegations by the Ajit Pawar camp against NCP founder and her father Sharad Pawar.

Pawar saheb did act in an undemocratic manner when it came to Praful Patel. When he was to be nominated to the Rajya Sabha, many NCP MLAs opposed his name. But Pawar saheb put his foot down and said Praful Patel will be our candidate for Rajya Sabha, Sule said sarcastically while interacting with reporters in Pandharpur.

Sule also said it was Sharad Pawar who in an undemocratic manner decided to make Patel a Union minister despite losing Lok Sabha polls in 2004 and overruling the opposition from the NCP leaders who are currently with Patel, a member of the Ajit Pawar faction. When it came to giving Praful Patel power and position, Sharad Pawar did act in an undemocratic manner. These allegations are childish and laughable, Sule added sarcastically.

Considered an old confidant of Sharad Pawar, Patel sided with Ajit Pawar when he and eight MLAs of NCP joined the Shiv Sena-BJP government in Maharashtra in July this year. NCP MLA Jitendra Awhad had claimed the Ajit Pawar camp, through its lawyer, had alleged that Sharad Pawar ran the party in an undemocratic manner and treated it as his fiefdom when the warring factions of the party met the Election Commission in Delhi on Friday.
