Mumbai: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar on Thursday said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and morality are contradictory to each other and asserted that the Supreme Court's verdict on last year's Maharashtra political crisis will help the MVA convince people about BJP's 'misuse' of authority.
The NCP chief said that the person who is responsible for upholding the constitution should take responsibility for maintaining its sanctity.
Mr. Pawar said that Maharashtra has witnessed how the person has been made the governor. "I have spoken about him (read Bhagat Singh Koshyari) when he was present here," said the NCP chief, while referring to the role of Maharashtra's former governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari. However, Mr. Pawar did not take the name of Bhagat Singh Koshyari.
"Governor is an institution in the constitution. Maharashtra has witnessed a good example of how disrepute was brought to it. Fortunately, he is not here today, so it is not appropriate to comment on him further," he said.
Mr. Pawar, who was a former union minister, also pointed out that while appointing the governor, the central government did not take precautions which needed to be taken. However, such an appointment was deliberately done in order to harass the non-BJP government.
