Amid reports about the differences among the constituents of the MVA Government over certain issues, NCP chief Sharad Pawar said on Monday that if the Shiv Sena-led Government were to complete its full five year term, it was essential for the Ministers in the State Cabinet to have good coordination with Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.
Confabulating with his party’s ministers in the Uddhav Thackeray Cabinet at the Yeshwantrao Chavan Centre in south Mumbai, Pawar advised them to have a good coordination with the
Chief Minister, avoid tasking up controversial issues and also making controversial statements.
At the meeting which was also attended by the party’s MPS Supriya Sule, Sunil Tatkare and Shrinivas Patil, Pawar reviewed the work of his party ministers in the State Cabinet.
Among other things, he said that guardians ministers would be appointed in such districts where there were no such ministers currently. He said that the party would consider the names of party workers sent by the district committees for appointment as the heads of various State-run corporations.
Meanwhile, confusion remains over the NCP’s stand on the National Population Register (NPR). “Though per se there should not be any opposition to the NPR, leaders of three constituents in the MVA government will sit across and take a formal decision on the issue,” NCP’s spokesperson and minister Nawab Malik said.
