Nationalist Congress Party threatens to quit the government
The standoff between the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the government has become more pronounced with a pull out by the former from the government
REPORTEDLY, THE NCP has warned the Congress if the coordination committee for UPA coalition is not set up and allies are not respected, it would pull out from the government. The NCP leadership has set today as the deadline for the Congress to meet its demand or face the consequences.
It may be recalled that the NCP was formed in 1999, by Sharad Pawar, P. A. Sangma, and Tariq Anwar after they were expelled from the Indian National Congress (INC) for questing the right of Italian-born Sonia Gandhi to lead the party.
Later, they decided to be the allies of UPA and coalition partner in the Congress-led government on Maharashtra. Recently, co-founder of NCP, P. A. Sangma, quit the party, to contest in presidential polls as a NDA nominee, which he lost.
