Mumbai: Frequent statements by Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan on key ministries being in the hands of coalition partner NCP "will not help", Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has said. "Chavan can`t complain about not having enough power. When Shahrukh Khan`s film (My Name is Khan) ran into trouble with Shiv Sena, then Chief Minister Ashok Chavan had taken control of the Home Department, which is handled by NCP," Pawar said here yesterday. In an apparent jibe at NCP, Chavan had said that some coalition partners in Delhi as well as in the state behaved as if they "own" their departments.
Earlier too, Chavan had said that to give home ministry to NCP in the state was "a mistake". PTI
