Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar on Saturday said that his party's stand of not joining hands with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was always very clear, and even if any suggestion to the contrary came up, he did not approve of the idea, reported the PTI.

The veteran politician's statements at a news conference in Pune came a day after his nephew and rebel NCP leader Ajit Pawar targeted him.
