Pawar meets Modi in Delhi: NCP-BJP alliance on cards?

(YahooNews)
Marathi newspaper Loksatta has stunned the political sphere by publishing the news of Pawar meeting Modi.
The speculation comes just a couple of days after NCP leader and union minister Praful Patel defended Modi over the 2002 Gujarat riots.

MUMBAI: Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar reportedly met Bharatiya Janata Party prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Friday, giving rise to speculations of a post-poll alliance between the BJP and NCP.

The speculation comes just a couple of days after NCP leader and union minister Praful Patel defended Modi over the 2002 Gujarat riots, saying that the clean chit given by the Supreme Court to the Gujarat chief minister should be respected by everyone.

He had reportedly said, "If the judicial system has given any pronouncement I think we ought to respect it and we need not question it further. There's no point to comment because it is for each one to give his or her version but the fact remains that perception today is important. If the judicial system has given certain finality to any controversy, I think we should let it rest there."

However, meanwhile, Shard Pawar has denied meeting Modi, calling the reports as 'mischievous', 'baseless' and 'false'.
