Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on Monday claimed support of 162 MLAs in Maharashtra as the Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress combine paraded a flock at the Grand Hyatt hotel. Personifying his personality of a 'Maratha Warrior', Pawar further said, "This is not Goa, this is Maharashtra." Pawar then took a jibe at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and said that the party at the Centre has been forming government in states where they have no majority.

Addressing the gathering of MLAs, Pawar said: "There will be no problem in proving our majority. The one who is suspended from the party cannot give any orders. On the day of the floor test, I will bring more than 162 MLAs."

"We are here together for people of Maharashtra. A government was formed in the state without a majority. Karnataka, Goa and Manipur, BJP didn't have majority anywhere but formed a government," the NCP chief added.
