Mumbai: Opposition Political Leader and NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Tuesday took a swipe on Prime Minister led Bharatiya Janata Party saying that BJP had no devlopment work to show and that’s why it is ahrping on the decision to end special status to Jammu and Kashmir as an answer for all the questions it is facing.
He said, “Since the BJP does not have anything concrete to show, they are harping on abrogation of Article 370 in J-K. When it was revoked, some people in Kashmir protested. The Congress supported the proposal and asked that people there be taken into confidence.”
In a rally in Pune, he said, “We are also happy. There were no complaints. I publicly announced my support but they (PM Modi and Amit Shah) question my opinion.”
He also added, “Question them about farmer suicides, unemployment, closure of industries, and the BJP replies Article 370.”
The NCP chief also mocked PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah saying they could hardly complete their speeches without taking his name.
He also took jibe over PM Modi and Amit Shah and aid, “Sometimes I am worried. I can understand Modiji is single. But the second one might be taking my name in his sleep as well and his family members must be surprised.”
Maharashtra, along with Haryana, will vote on October 21 for a new assembly. The results will be declared on October 24.
Mr Pawar has kept his messaging focused on state issues. He has accused the BJP of dragging in national issues in Maharashtra instead of addressing local issues.
