Shivsena is with us, says NCP Chief Sharad Pawar

Sharad Pawar's reaction came after PM Modi's and Uddhav Thackeray's meeting.

Speaking at the party's 22nd Foundation Day, NCP Chief Sharad Pawar reminded Uddhav Thackeray of how his father Late Balasaheb Thackeray kept his word. “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 the power. Those who are raising questions about Shivsena changing their stand after that meeting are living in a different paradise,” Pawar said. “In spite of the talks after the Thackeray-Modi meet, we are confident that our government will continue for 5 years. We will continue to work for the betterment of people in the forthcoming Loksabha and Assembly polls as well,” he said.
