Mumbai: Nationalist Congress Party Chief Sharad Pawar on Friday said that he would attend the swearing-in ceremony of congress government in Karnataka on May 20.
He said that he received a call from the Congress President regarding the swearing-in ceremony of the Karnataka CM and several top leaders have also requested me to attend the ceremony. Therefore, he would go to Bengaluru tomorrow to attend the oath-taking ceremony of Siddaramaih.
Speaking to media persons, Pawar also talked about opposition unity he said, “We are trying to bring together Opposition parties. It won’t happen immediately but I think in the next 3 to 4 months of discussion this can be done. It’s the wish of Bihar CM Nitish Kumar that we should come together for a meeting.”
NCP Chief said that people wanted change.
“People want change and to bring that there is no single party that can take responsibility for the entire country. Many Opposition political parties have their govt in many states, for example, Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal. So we are thinking that we all should be in touch with such leaders and if possible try to work on a common minimum programme and give alternatives to the citizens of the nation,” said Sharad Pawar.
