Never heard about it: Pawar on claim that Shiv Sena ‘proposed’ alliance govt in 2014

NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Monday virtually dismissed Congress leader Ashok Chavan’s claim that Shiv Sena wanted to form a government in alliance with Congress in 2014 after snapping ties with BJP and was told to consult Pawar. Speaking to reporters in Pune, Pawar also said ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ is organised by Congress and there is no reason for other parties to take part i. Queried about Chavan’s claim that there was a proposal from Shiv Sena for forming a government with the Congress and the NCP in 2014, Pawar said no one gave such a proposal to the Nationalist Congress Party. “Had a proposal been given to NCP, I would have known a bit about it. Though leaders of NCP have the right to take a decision, at least they keep me posted. So whatever Ashok Chavan said, I never heard of it,” he said. Chavan had said Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde, was part of a delegation that had met him with a proposal to form a Sena-Congress alliance government.
