Sharad Pawar’s interesting observation on Nitish and Modi

Ahmedabad, 19 October, 2011

Following is what Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Chief Sharad Pawar told Indian Express about Nitish Kumar and Narendra Modi in an interview yesterday:

Speaking about Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Bihar C M Nitish Kumar, Pawar said that Kumar had focused on law and order rather than on development. But he said Kumar opposed development or new technology in agriculture in Bihar, pointing to the Bihar government’s opposition to a GM crop field trial. On the other hand, Modi welcomes any experiment if it would bring development to the state, Pawar said, but added that his remarks were limited to development work.

It should be noted that Pawar’s daughter had recently visited Ahmedabad to witness various development project in the city. She had also praised Modi’s developmental work. Several Maharashtra leaders including the Congress Chief Minister there, Raj Thackeray, Ramdas Athwale etc have appreciated the development work in Gujarat at various occasions.
