Click to play videoBhandara (Maharashtra): After flirting with the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) and the Third Front, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on Friday shared a stage with Congress President Sonia Gandhi in Vidharbha.
Pawar is a chameleon this election season cosying up to Naveen Patnaik and 48 hours later exchanging pleasantries with Sonia Gandhi.
He is comfortable in every political company, at a Bhubaneshwar Third Front rally and the Vidarbha joint campaign of the United Progressive Alliance.
In between, he has paid a visit to Balasaheb Thackeray and at Friday's rally, he took on the Bharatiya Janata Party, perhaps the only party he cannot flirt with.
"What moral high ground does Narendra Modi have? He has people with criminal backgrounds in his Cabinet," Sharad Pawar said at the rally.
Pawar's lieutenant and Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel forgot all about his boss' recent fling with the Third Front and renewed his pledge to Manmohan Singh.
"We will strive to form a government of the UPA at the Centre and that is our primary objective. As far as leadership of Dr Manmohan Singh is concerned I don't think NCP has any reservations," said Patel.
Sonia did her best to give the impression that there was nothing wrong between her and the NCP, a party that couldn't have been born without questioning her foreign origin.
In Vidarbha, notorious for farmers' suicides, she harped on the all that her government has done for the agriculture sector.
"We have waived off farmers' loan to the tune of Rs 65,000 crore," she pointed out.
A week back Pawar was missing the Third Front so much that he went out of the way to deliver a cellphone address. Two days ago, he was basking in the company of those who are sworn enemies of the UPA. But, cleverly enough, he retains the same common enemy in all his speeches - the BJP.
