| 'Can't blame Narendra Modi for 2002 |
| 'Can't blame Narendra Modi for 2002 riots': Sharad Pawar keeps UPA guessing

| Sharad Pawar, chief of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and an old UPA ally, today continued to leave room for doubt over his proximity to Narendra Modi and the BJP.
In an exclusive interview to NDTV from his Mumbai residence, he said that while he is very much with the Congress-led UPA, now and after the elections, he also shared a good equation with Mr Modi, just as he does with leaders of all political parties. Mr Pawar said that he didn't believe in the politics of enmity.
He also said that Mr Modi, who is the BJP's prime ministerial candidate, should not be held responsible for the 2002 riots on Gujarat, when the court had exonerated him.
"When the court has said something, we have to accept it so why raise the issue," the 73-year-old said.
When asked whether this differed from the stance taken by Rahul Gandhi, who only recently in an interview, held Mr Modi culpable for the communal violence in Gujarat, Mr Pawar said, "If they (the Congress) have some difference information, I do not know about it. I am only going by what the court said."
