Ncp-congress Ties

Keeping its allies happy is turning into Mission Impossible for the Congress. After pacifying the DMK and Mamata Banerjee, a third crucial partner in the ruling coalition is now sulking. Sharad Pawar, head of the Nationalist Congress Party or NCP, said today that he is pained by the Prime Minister's comments on his allies.

The NCP has no objection to a Congress Chief Minister in Maharashtra after the state assembly polls, party chief Sharad Pawar has said.
