Pune, Oct 18 (PTI) Maharashtra BJP leader Laxman Dhoble on Friday said he plans to join the Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP) in the next couple of days, adding his move is due to the saffron party’s alliance with Ajit Pawar.

Dhoble, a former guardian minister of Solapur district, met Sharad Pawar in Mumbai during the day.

“After joining the BJP, I have met with the same fate (due to alliance with Ajit Pawar). Therefore, I have decided to go back to Sharad Pawar. I will consult my supporters and decide in the next two days on leaving the BJP,” he said.

Asked if he was joining the Sharad Pawar faction to get a ticket from Mohol in Solapur district, Dhoble claimed he would work for the NCP (SP) even if he is not made a candidate.
