Amid the furious sabre–rattling between the tripartite Maha Vikas Aghadi government and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar, in a veiled attack on the BJP on Monday said some people were “getting anxious after being deprived of power”.
Mr. Pawar told reporters in Pune that it was a good thing that the State government had called an all–party meeting over the loudspeakers controversy.
Asked about statements repeatedly being made by BJP leaders that Maharashtra’s situation warranted President’s rule, Mr. Pawar said it was true that some people became anxious after power went out of their hands.
