Shiv Sena stings Pawar, likens NCP to ‘blood sucking leech’

In a vitriolic attack on Sharad Pawar for equating the Shiv Sena to “ants that will be stuck to jaggery of power,” the ruling alliance partner on Friday described Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) as “blood sucking leech" waiting to join hands with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to be a part of the Maharashtra government.

“Before calling others ants, it would have been better if Pawar had self-introspected. The NCP is infamous for sucking the blood of Maharashtra like <g data-gr-id="7">leech</g>. These are leeches whose stomach will remain empty despite sucking out all the blood of the state,” the Sena said in stinging remarks in an editorial in party mouthpiece ‘Saamana’.
