Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar today refused to comment on Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde's statement that he would like to see him as the Prime Minister.
When asked about the same at a press conference here this morning, Pawar said, "This (event) is to make announcement about the Krishi Vasant exhibition, and I am not contesting the Lok Sabha election."
Yesterday, during a public interaction with editors of a Marathi newspaper in his hometown Solapur, Shinde had said he would be happy if Pawar became the Prime Minister.
"I would be happy if Pawar becomes the PM. He is my political guru. I entered the politics because of him," Shinde said.
