Only Pulwama-like incident can change people’s mood in Maha: Pawar

TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ Ahead of the Assembly elections, Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar has stoked a possible controversy by saying that only a Pulwama attack-like incident can change the mood of the people of Maharashtra as they have resentment for the incumbent Devendra Fadnavis-led government in the state.

“Before Lok Sabha elections, there was an environment of anger and distress against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. However, Pulwama attack on CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) jawans had changed the entire scenario,” Pawar said during a press conference on Friday in Aurangabad. He continued, “Now people’s mind can be changed only with other Pulwama attack-like situation.”

Pawar also claimed that when he enquired about the Pulwama attack took place in February this year, he suspected that it was ‘deliberately orchestrated’.  “I have worked in Defence. When I talked to some officials that time I suspected the attack was deliberately orchestrated or Pakistan may be behind it,” he said.
