Sharad Pawar said the NCP will also flag issues relating to common citizens such as rise in prices of petrol, diesel, gas and edible oil.
The BJP and its associates are trying to create "communal situation" in the country, NCP chief Sharad Pawar alleged on Monday, comments coming in the backdrop of violence in several states during Ram Navami and Hanuman Jayanti celebrations and the issue of loudspeakers atop mosques raging in Maharashtra.
On the other hand, the NCP, a constituent of the Shiv Sena-led MVA government in the state, was at the forefront of creating an atmosphere of harmony among people, he said.
In a series of tweets, Mr Pawar said spread of communal ideology is a "matter of concern" and added the NCP will also flag issues relating to common citizens such as rise in prices of petrol, diesel, gas and edible oil.
"The BJP and its associates are trying to create communal situation in the country. We are taking part in works of creating awareness among the people and creating atmosphere to ensure harmony among them," Mr Pawar tweeted in Marathi.
