NCP support to UPA, Maha govt to continue: Sharad Pawar

Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar [ Images ] on Wednesday reaffirmed his party's support to Congress at the Centre and in Maharashtra [ Images ], where a crisis has erupted in the wake of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar's resignation.

"We continue to support the government in Maharashtra and Delhi [ Images ], we do not want destability," Pawar told reporters here.

Asked whether Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan [ Images ] should go back to Delhi, where he was earlier a powerful minister in the PMO, Pawar said, "Whether Chavan should be there (as chief minister of Maharashtra) in Mumbai [ Images ] or Delhi is the internal issue of Congress, it is a prerogative of Congress and we have no view."

Asked whether the resignation of Ajit Pawar, a senior NCP leader, was to create pressure on Congress, he said, "(There is) no question of pressure creating."
