Call To Merge Their Parties With BJP?

PM has called Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray to merge their parties with BJP in a rally source says. This was perhaps in reply to a comment of Sharad Pawar that after elections, many small parties will join Congress, party source says. The political observers say that the issue raised by PM is only to confuse the stanch supporters of both parties, source says. Sharad Pawar replied that he will not abandon the policy of Gandhi and Nehru source says. He further added that these policies are for a united, strong and vibrant India source says.
