Pawar won't join Third Front, says Munde

Earlier, he made some remarks about media after which his uncle Sharad Pawar had to apologise on his behalf, but he did not apologise.” “Now, he has made mockery of ‘adivasis' on the issue of power cuts during the festive season.


This shows that the government is insensitive to the problems of people,” he said.  “The government should not disconnect power supply of defaulters not only in Gadchiroli, but in all villages in the state during Diwali,” Munde said.

Munde lauded Home Minister R R Patil, guardian minister of Gadchiroli, for “taking on” Ajit Pawar - who heads the energy portfolio - in yesterday's Cabinet meeting over disconnection of power supply in the Naxal-affected district during Diwali.

“Patil raised the issue with genuine concern but Pawar taunted him. Patil should show self-respect and resign from the Cabinet,” Munde said.
