Summary:
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has decided to step up attack against the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar ahead of the polling for the 17 constituencies slated for April 29. He further attacked Pawar saying that he is a big player and knows which way the wind is going to blow. This year, he withdrew his candidacy from Madha saying that he did not want three members of the Pawar family in the fray at the same time. NCP, however, has indicated that Pawar is capable enough to launch a counter-attack on BJP. On his part, BJP president Amit Shah has attacked Pawar on his home turf..
