As the tension between Karnataka and Maharashtra escalates NCP supremo Sharad Pawar has given firm warning and said if things do not improve in the next 24 hours, then the Centre and the BJP government in Karnataka will be responsible for any untoward situation. Pawar also warned the Karnataka government not to test the patience of the people of Maharashtra and resolve the issue amicably.
The veteran Maratha leader and the NCP founder also said that the ”time has come to take a firm stand” after seeing what is happening there on the Maharashtra and Karnataka border. Pawar said, “CM Eknath Shinde must keep all the parties in confidence before taking any decision…Parliament session is about to begin, I request all MPs to come together & take a stand on the same.”
Accusing the Basavaraj Bommai-led BJP government of deliberately escalating the situation, Pawar claimed that since the last few weeks, conscious attempts were being made by the Karnataka CM to take the situation in a different direction. “Time has come to take a stand after seeing what is happening in border areas. The situation there is worrisome,” said Pawar, whose party was part of the previous Uddhav Thackeray- led Maha Vikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra.
