'NCP's lust for power ended alliance'
October 01, 2014
Former Maharashtra chief minister Prithviraj Chavan today blamed his party's split with Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party or the NCP on what he called the latter's "demonic aspirations and lust for power."
"Sharad Pawar split the Congress to be PM, is it right to break the alliance just to be chief minister," Mr Chavan said, referring to Mr Pawar's exit from the Congress in 1999 to launch his own party.
