Speaking at an event in Pune, Jayant Patil said the NCP could not do anything for its members while in government (Maha Vikas Aghadi) as for that we need our leader sitting in the number one (CM) position.
Though we could not give big positions to (party members), there are a number of people who are working with the party with loyalty by just looking at (Sharad) Pawar saheb.
