Delhi Chief Minister CM Arvind Kejriwal has pinned his hopes on Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) boss Sharad Pawar in Mumbai, to get support from the parties he hasn’t been able to convince to stand with him, to oppose an ordinance that has usurped his government’s powers to control the bureaucracy.

A day after seeking a helping hand from Shiv Sena splinter leader Uddhav Thackeray, Kejriwal sought Pawar’s cooperation. “Pawar saheb is one of the tallest leaders the country has. He has promised us his party’s support, and I have requested him to talk to all other parties to get them together to defeat the bill in the Rajya Sabha,” said Kejriwal at a media conference that was also addressed by Pawar at YB Chavan Centre.
