Pawar may attend Badal's swearing-in ceremony

Mumbai: Agriculture minister Sharad Pawar may attend the swearing-in ceremony of Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on March 14, party sources said.

"Pawar saheb has plans to attend the function on condition that there is no major development in Parliament (on that day)," NCP sources said.

Pawar is now in Mumbai and attended a function with President Pratibha Patil to mark the launch of the year-long birth centenary celebrations of Maharashtra's first chief minister Yashwantrao Chavan.
