In his Parliamentary speech on the first day of winter session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised National Congress Party (NCP) and Biju Janata Dal (BJD) Odisha for adhering to Parliamentary norms.
He also added that these parties have never ventured into the well. Yet they have made their points very effectively.
Earlier, NCP supremo Sharad Pawar’s remarked speculations when he said “They (BJP-Sena) Have To Find Their Own Way, We Will Do Our Own Politics.”
Shivsena-NCP-Congress alliance government was almost considered a done deal with even Pawar on record as late as last Friday saying that the three parties would join forces and form a government that would last a full term.
Several media reports hinted that Congress scion Rahul Gandhi fiercely opposed to any tie-up with Shiv Sena, which has fashioned itself as a hardcore Hindutva outfit. The proposed alliance is also said to be opposed by members of Kerala Congress. However the Maharashtra unit of Congress has been forcefully advocating the tie-up, arguing it was an imperative to keep the BJP out in India’s economic powerhouse state.
