BJP graph steadily declining: Pawar

NCP President Sharad Pawar today said BJP's graph has drastically dipped in the last ten months since the time it strode to power promising "achhe din" and hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for targeting political opponents back home, on foreign soil.
Addressing the extended working committee of the state NCP unit in which Sunil Tatkare was re-elected president, Pawar said there was even unease in the BJP ranks.
"During the Lok Sabha elections, 'achhe din' were promised. But the BJP graph has been steadily declining and the party which had 100 per cent result in the Lok Sabha polls, in Delhi, about 3-4 months later, won only three of the 70 seats," Pawar said.

"A Prime Minister represents the nation and it does not go down well when he makes political comments on foreign soil that he is cleaning up dirt. Is India dirty?" he asked.
He said the Prime Minister's "conduct was improper".
He also lashed out at comments coming from BJP MPs blaming Rahul Gandhi for the Nepal earthquake after he visited Kedarnath temple and asking Hindus to shun family planning as well as glorification of Nathuram Godse, assassin of Mahatma Gandhi.

"To keep the country united, rulers need to have a agenda of social equality. However, people having a different ideology are getting over confident and think they can speak anything," Pawar said.

"These are dangerous times and we need to be united," he told his party workers.
Pawar said cow slaughter had been banned in Maharashtra for long. But now the government has banned slaughter of the cow progeny as well.
"This will bring economics of the farmers in danger because they cannot look after the cattle. This will result in farmers disowning their cattle if they can't look after them.
