New Delhi: In a move to pressurise the Congress ahead of the General Elections, Sharad Pawar has supported RR Patil's stand that the Maharashtra chief ministership should be split between the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).
The demand comes when the Maharashtra government is in the last leg of its current tenure.
Despite being the Congress' major partner in Maharashtra, the NCP never got the chief minister's post.
The NCP and the Congress are scheduled to decided on their seat sharing for the General Elections next week.
The issue could be used as leverage by the NCP to extract more seats out of the Congress.
There have already been reports that the NCP and Congress' arch rival Shiv Sena are growing closer ahead of the elections.
