Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not make any offer to NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar to join NDA but only gave him advice, said Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday, reported news agency PTI.

Addressing a rally in Nandurbar district on Friday, Modi had suggested that the NCP (SP) and Shiv Sena (UBT) led by Uddhav Thackeray join hands with Ajit Pawar and Eknath Shinde, respectively, after the Lok Sabha poll results are declared, instead of `dying by merging` with the Congress, reported PTI.
