Uttan (Maha), Jun 06: BJP today stepped up the campaign against NCP Chief and Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar demanding his resignation in the wake of the failed IPL bid by Pune-based City Corporation Ltd (CCL) in which he and his family members have direct share-holding.
“Pawar has been repeatedly misleading the country and misrepresenting the facts on his role in IPL bidding,” Senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad told reporters here.
Pawar, who is also former BCCI chief, and his Parliamentarian daughter Supriya Sule have been embroiled in the controversy over the bid for the Pune IPL team, which was won by Sahara group, after it came to light that the Pawar family had a 16 per cent equity in City Corporation.
