“This government will be formed and it will complete five years. We all will ensure this government runs for five years,” Sharad Pawar said.
The Congress, which took time to come around to supporting an ideologically contrasting party like the Shiv Sena, had insisted on a common agenda.
Talking about Shiv Sena’s request for the chief minister’s post for the entire term, Pawar said: “If anybody demands the chief minister’s post we will think about it.”
