Dictatorship: NCP-SCP Supremo Sharad Pawar Slams PM Modi

BY A STAFF REPORTER: Former Maharashtra Chief Minister and NCP-SCP Chief Sharad Pawar took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for alleged dictatorship on April 8, Monday. 

Sharad Pawar claimed that he helped then Gujarat CM Narendra Modi without any partiality when he was a Union Minister. Pawar further alleged that action is taken against those who speak against PM Modi. He shared the cases of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren's arrest as examples. Furthermore, he asserted that this is a dictatorship rather than a democracy. "Today, the power has been centralized in the hands of Modi, we need to release it from him." He added.

Founder of the Nationalist Congress Party and head of NCP-SCP Sharad Pawar is a Rajya Sabha MP representing Maharashtra. He has served as the Union Minister in the cabinets of former PM PV Narasimha Rao and Manmohan Singh. Pawar also served as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra for four terms.
