Smart move to continue fill good image of alliance victory to public in general and one step forward of NCP to share power with larger seats in v important stae of India.
Lessr we talk about pawar thje better it would be. There are no values/ethics/morals in politics. According to me there in is nothing like politics since there is nothing like values/morals/ethics. Just as some body saiod in democracy what people get is what those people deserve. Indian race is one which is always happy to watch it self as objects of redicule and do not forget I am one of that race.
1.Sharad pawar him self knew that the victory belongs to the ruling government 2.Sonia has played a crucial role in election compaign whe compared with others 3.Sonia has became a ideal politicians after making Manmohan singh Prime minister. I think above these reasons enough for pawar to accept Victory of congress and sonia
Pawar did predictable thing - Congress is nationwide. It can afford to stretch maharashtra or even loose it for a while.
sharad pawar would have a hard time if maharashtra is lost.
having won the election, it would be foolish not to form a govt with congress.
so it was predictable that mr pawar will have to give in finally.
feel sorry for you mr. pawar, i thought having won more seats, will give you political confidence to stand your ground but you are too shrewd to place honour before power.
Sharat pawar is blinking just to fool the people. it is a sercastic blink. Pawar will not merge his party with congress because he will loose his identity just like vasan after Moopanar and moreover he can not threaten to get his pound of flesh whenever demand araise. More over his aim is on BCCI to get the president post which is a golden goose to mint money. This may be the indirect Bargain made with congress. One has to pity the poor maharashrian voters who have elected theese "wise" guys and our Indian politics. God save India
today indians will see reps of both the parties on the tv screens,potraying as if nothing has happened. and whatever they did was to uplift the electorate. well that is for the indian politics
a) when he had to patch up with Rajeev in late 80's b) when he couldn't secure Prime Minister ship in 91 when he went to Delhi "strengthened hands of PV N Rao" c) when he had to patch up with Sonia after quitting congress claiming her foreign origin status
