A meeting of NCP workers at Nashik earlier this month had seen top leaders of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) vowing to ensure that Pawar becomes the country’s next Prime Minister.

“The 10 crore people of Maharashtra will vote in the ensuing Lok Sabha elections with the one-point agenda of the Prime Minister’s post,” NCP’s state unit president R R Patil had said at that meeting.

Several party leaders,including Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel,had said only Pawar has the “capability to lead the country”.

Pawar had also later said that there was a feeling among the people of Maharashtra that the state should get an opportunity for the top job.
