Pawar misled nation,should resign immediately: BJP

‘Pawar has misled the nation…. Pawar has misrepresented facts in IPL,’ BJP spokesman Ravi Shanker Prasad told reporters here.

The BJP attack came as Pawar and his daughter Supriya Sule,Member of Parliament,faced allegations that they were stakeholders in a company that made a failed IPL bid for the Pune team.

‘We demand immediate resignation of Pawar,’ Prasad said,adding,’If Pawar does not resign,we demand that the Prime Minister should take stern action against him.’

The BJP leader said Singh should not merely speak about ‘good governance,probity and fairness’ but actually implement these benchmarks.

Prasad said the BJP had already been complaining about Pawar’s efforts to ‘mislead’ the country on foodgrains issue.
