Pawar: Joshi should predict his future, not mine

August 10, 2012 11:34

Sharad Pawar has termed as "highly irresponsible" a Shiv Sena leader's remark that the NCP leader has the political acumen to unify NDA and lead it to power in the 2014 general elections. The NCP supremo said his party has been with Congress through thick and thin.

"The statement made by (Sena leader Manohar) Joshi as regards NCP and me is highly irresponsible. If Joshi has to make any predictions, he should do them about himself and his party Shiv Sena and should not make remarks spreading misunderstanding about other parties," Pawar said.

The statement of Joshi, a former Lok Sabha Speaker, had come against the backdrop of BJP leader L K Advani's prediction of a non-BJP and non-Congress Prime Minister after the next parliamentary elections.
