Nationalist Congress Party president Sharad Pawar has reminded Prime Minister Narendra Modi of his recent remarks about `corruption’ of NCP leaders, and asked him to act against those who are guilty.
Modi should use all the powers at his disposal and punish the corrupt, he said at a rally at Yeola in Maharashtra’s Nashik district.
A week after his nephew Ajit Pawar rebelled against him and joined the Shiv Sena-BJP government in the state along with seven other MLAs including senior NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal, Sharad Pawar started a statewide tour in an attempt to rally the cadre behind him.
Later, NCP chief Sharad Pawar at a public meeting quoted by ANI said, This rally is not for making any allegations against anyone. I came here to apologise to all of you (people in Yeola). My decision was wrong, you trusted me and voted for my party but my decision (of having Chhagan Bhujbal as an MLA from Yeola) failed. So, it is my duty to apologise to you. Next time when I come here again, I promise I won’t repeat the mistake.
