Athawale pitches for union ministry

Mumbai : RPI chief Ramdas Athawale was seen pitching for his inclusion in the Union ministry even as the BJP announced formation of a co-ordination committee of smaller alliance partners on Thursday. Athawale said at Satara that he is not interested in being minister in the State Cabinet and looking forward to inclusion in the Union Cabinet. He also grumbled that the BJP leaders accept the conditions put forth by the allies during talks but don’t keep their word later.
