NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Monday asserted that his party along with the Congress and Shiv Sena will form government in Maharashtra.
Addressing reporters in Karad town of neighbouring Satara district, he reiterated that the decision of aligning with the BJP was of his nephew Ajit Pawar and not the NCP.
"It is not the party's decision and we do not endorse it," the NCP patriarch said.
Asked whether the NCP, Congress and Shiv Sena will form government in the state, he said, "There is not an iota of doubt that the government (of the combine) will be formed in Maharashtra."
