Shillong, Oct 19: NCP president Sharad Pawar said that his party was approaching all secular minded parties in Gujarat to jointly fight the BJP, which, he said was playing the communal card before the forthcoming assembly elections. Addressing a press conference after the conclusion of the two-day working committee meeting of the party, he alleged that the BJP had adopted a strategy of dividing the people on majority and minority lines for electoral gains. "If the BJP is succesful in dividing the people by categorising them as majority and minority, the entire nation will suffer," he said adding that secular minded parties should take note of this. He also said that the NCP was trying to form a third front in the country to defeat the BJP and the Congress. Bureau Report
