Gujarat unsafe for minority communities: Pawar

Hitting out at Gujarat chief minister and firebrand BJP leader Narendra Modi, NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Monday alleged that Gujarat was unsafe for people belonging to minority communities.

"Narendra Modi's Gujarat has become a threat for people belonging to the minority communities," Pawar, who was at Shegaon to address a public rally, said.

The Maratha strongman said his party will ensure that Maharashtra will not go "the Gujarat way". 

"We will never allow any party or alliance to convert Maharashtra into Gujarat," he said.

The NCP chief, who was here to campaign for Shivaji Kardile, party candidate from Nagar Lok Sabha constituency, expressed confidence that the ruling UPA will play a major role to form a stable government at the Centre after the polls.
