Shiv Sena Supremo Bal Thackeray, in an interview published in party daily Saamna on Tuesday, had described Pawar as ‘Prime Ministerial material’ but the company of Congress had ‘tainted’ his image.
"How can a party which has 14 MPs eye the Prime Minister's post," Pawar said.
The Sena chief had said he wanted a ‘Marathi’ to become the country's Prime Minister but the person at the helm should have a free hand to govern and should not survive on the ‘patronage’ of Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
He also dismissed Thackeray's demand for 50 per cent reservation in houses built in Mumbai for Maharashtrians.
"He (Thackeray) may have said due to elections ahead," Pawar said.

Any body can become PM of India as long as 80% of people of india are kept uneducated by Politicians. No harm .One more guy screwing up India
there shoudl be some changes in the constitution to fix a retiremetn age for politicians all services and sectors. so we do not get trash statements after a certain age from politicians.
Oh Mr.Pawar, you always had it in you for the top position.You got out of congress bçoz you hated Sonia foreign origin.You came back to UPA to enjoy the power.What about Sonia's Origin?? shame on you.Still you can make it. All those Gowda's,Guzral's,Manmohan''s are there as leading example.
Didn't Sonia become the super PM with just 145 out of 540 plus MP seats in parliament? Anything can happen Mr. Pawar in India as long as there are gullible masses voting in high percentage during elections.
Ask Sonia gandhi to nominate you!!!!Manmohansinghji please educate this guy about the loopholes in the constitution!!!!
Don't get disheartened, Mr.Pawar. You Know your Congress best. You were a part of this party When Charan Singh and Chandrashekhar were made P.M by the Congress. You can pull out the same tricks though, of course, you run the risk of being dumped just as the two cited ambitious politicians were.
Enough is enogh now! we lost thousands of maratha sainik to save this so called hindu nation from Mughals and what marati manus got? Nothing from this country. Instaed of calling MARATHI PM , Mr. BALASAHEB THAKRE SHOULD CALL FOR SAPARATE MARATHI NATION. If banladeshi can form a nation, Nepali form a nation, Shrilakan can form a nation and make their identity then why not Marathi people should make their identity. We donot want Dillipatti. We are seek of this Delhi Power. Let us wake up marathi man!!
That sow how you think that's now why no P.M. form your side.
Though my language is Tamil, I am very proud of Manmohan Singh and I can say that no Tamil person is suitable to replace him including Dr. Abdul Kalam. So, why do we need separate nation but the world should become one single nation or union, that will be there.
Sena made one corrupt and scandelous woman as President. This is called maratha proud, what a joke. Now its think 14 MP NCP party to lead the nation as PM. Why not Theckery himself try the PM post? His party too have around 10 MPs. Sena must support BJP/NDA candidate as PM, which is realistic.
Thackeray is snake with two mouth. On one side he talks about protecting Hindus and on the other side he does not want Hinuds Except Marathis in Mumbai. He must keep his mouth shut now. He is as bad as Communists, V. P. Singhs, Mulayam Singh, Soniya Gandhi, Raj Shekher Reddy (AP CM) and Arujun Singhs. These crooks have damaged India so much.
Tho I agree with some of you comments... I would not say Thackeray as a crook... The thing I dont like about his statements is he is singling out other people from maharashtra... and thinks maharashtra is for marathi people only. Instead of providing reservation, he and his party should work from grass root level to provide good amenities to marathi people, and not ordering dictats for 50% reservation in Mumbai flats. Tho major population is marathi, there are other people also who has made this state progress, and he should have a broad vision on how should a marathi person progress.
Mr. Pawar don't believe in miracles. IF Laloo can Railway minister, if Buddha can still a CM of West Bengal, If Karunanidhi still can walk on his feet after distasteful Ramarks on Lord Ram, If Center government can still in place for calling Lord Ram as character of an epic, Mr. Pawar can be PM too, but not the way Shiv Sena want.
