Athawale said the Shiv Sena should again join hands with the BJP but if that doesn’t happen, Pawar should join the NDA for the development of Maharashtra.

Union Minister Ramdas Athawale on Monday said that Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar may get a “big post” in the future if he joins the NDA and said there is “no advantage” in staying with Shiv Sena.
