MUMBAI: BJP state president Chandrashekhar Bawankule on Friday termed NCP chief Sharad Pawar as "Bondhu Baba" who does black magic on anyone who comes under his influence.
Bawankule is on a tour of Satara in the run up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Speaking to the media, he said Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray was entrapped by Pawar through jaadu tona (black magic) in 2019. "We were in the process of forming government, and Thackeray came in contact with him and because of Jaadu Tona (black magic), he left us and never returned," he said. tnn
