Mumbai, Nov 18 (Agencies) : Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar on Tuesday asked party workers to gear up for mid-term poll may occur in Maharashtra. While addressing the party workers, Pawar said that no party has majority in the Assembly and NCP has not given any assurance to the BJP to complete its full term. The NCP chief also alleged that the BJP was supporting MIM, which he termed could prove dangerous for Maharashtra.
"MIM is supported by BJP, they can be dangerous for Maharashtra. Even their speeches are a point of worry," said Pawar. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had won a controversial confidence vote last Wednesday after NCP declared outside support to his minority government. As the confidence motion was passed by a voice vote, there was an uproar by Sena and Congress, with the two parties petitioning Governor C Vidyasar Rao to direct the government to seek a fresh vote in which its strength be determined through a division of votes. NCP Legislature Party leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar too disapproved of the manner in which the motion was passed by voice vote.
NCP chief Sharad Pawar had earlier said he cannot guarantee the survival of the BJP government for its full five-year term. Pawar's comments come in the backdrop over the possibility of BJP and Sena coming together to form a stable government. However, no clear signals from the two parties have come yet.
