Sharad Pawar reminds of NCP-Sena alliance after Uddhav Thackeray met PM Modi

Speaking at his party's 22nd Foundation day, Sharad Pawar reminded Uddhav Thackeray of how his late father Balasaheb Thackeray had stood by his words given to Indira Gandhi.

After the much-hyped meeting between Prime Minister Narendra and Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, NCP Chief Sharad Pawar has broken his silence. On Tuesday, PM Modi and Thackeray discussed the Maratha reservation issue and the pending GST compensation. Meanwhile, speaking at his party's 22nd Foundation day, Pawar reminded Uddhav of how his late father Balasaheb Thackeray had stood by his word given to Indira Gandhi. "In 1977 when the entire political scene was against Indira Gandhi, there was one person who stood by her and it was Bal Thackeray. He promised her that he won't field any candidate against her party and he stood by his words. Similarly, Shivsena is with us in power. Those who are raising questions about Shivsena changing their stand after that meeting are living in a different paradise," Pawar said.
