BJP's situation is like the teacher in 'Pinjra': They came to stop the show, but ended up playing the instrument themselves - Jayant Patil's scathing criticism
Sangli - The political atmosphere has heated up in Maharashtra ahead of the 2026 Sangli-Miraj-Kupwad Municipal Corporation elections. Senior Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction) leader Jayant Patil launched a strong attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He compared the BJP to the character of the teacher in the famous film 'Pinjra'. "The BJP's situation has become like the teacher in the film Pinjra. The teacher came to stop the folk theatre performance, but became so engrossed in it that he himself stood up with a musical instrument," Jayant Patil said, making a sharp remark.
Patil made this jibe while speaking about the BJP's alliance with MIM in Akot and with the Congress in Ambernath. He used a couplet to mock the BJP, saying, "They came to shut down the brothels of courtesans, but upon hearing the jingle of coins, they themselves started performing a dance..."
Patil recalled the events of 1996. At that time, the BJP, under the leadership of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, had won the most seats, but did not have a majority. Yet, they did not form a government by bringing different parties together. But what is the BJP doing today? They are luring leaders from the Congress and making their party Congress-dominated. They call themselves Hindutva proponents, but they formed an alliance with MIM in Akola. They are sitting shoulder to shoulder with the same Owaisi whom they criticized. They have one set of teeth to show and another to bite with, Patil said.
The BJP has no qualms about forming an alliance with anyone for the sake of power. Those who wanted a Congress-free India have now become Congress-dominated. Sangli has witnessed the thoughtful leadership of Vasantdada Patil. Patil appealed to everyone to keep their conscience awake.
Speaking about the development in Sangli, Patil said that the development of this city was done by the Congress and the NCP. They provided blood tests for free or at a nominal cost, set up a market stall for self-help groups, allocated ?5 crore to Vandesh Wadi Hospital, organized health camps, constructed Krishna Ghat, started the Sangli-Miraj four-laning project, established a DSP office, fought against property tax hikes, sanctioned a drainage system, and provided ?10 crore for Chaitraban. He then asked, "What has the BJP done in the last eight years?"
