Congress leaders on Tuesday gave an invitation to NCP (SCP) chief Sharad Pawar to join Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra and the public meeting to be held at Shivaji Park on March 17.
"I don't react on speculations... We are not in the business of being in contact with other leaders but I know several leaders are not comfortable on the other side (Ajit Pawar faction)," NCP (SCP) chief Sharad Pawar said.
Launching a scathing attack on the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, NCP SCP Chief Sharad Pawar termed the Bharatiya Janata Party a "Washing machine" and said it is inducting the leaders with corruption charges from opposite parties and getting them "cleaned".
