Union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde said on Saturday that he would be very happy to see Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar become prime minister of India, surprising remarks from a Congress loyalist that are certain to invite censure from supporters of party vice-president Rahul Gandhi.
"Pawar has been in politics for over 40 years. He was very close to becoming the prime minister in 1992 (Shinde may have meant 1991 when PV Narasimha Rao became PM). A lot of people don't know all the details of what happened. It would not be right to say all the things from a public platform but Pawar could not become prime minister because of politics in Delhi."
