MUMBAI: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Monday mentioned that as of now there’s “no alternative” to Prime Minister Narendra Modi within the nation. Pawar was replying to a question by reporters on the opposition events planning to problem Modi’s management forward of the Lok Sabha polls due subsequent yr.
“As of now, there is no alternative to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the country. Such a decision is taken based on various aspects and not just one or two things,” Pawar mentioned. “You people do a lot of propaganda,” he advised the mediapersons.
But questions like who will defend the nation’s pursuits, in whose fingers the nation might be safer and stronger, and who raised the nation’s picture on the worldwide stage, these elements matter rather a lot, Pawar mentioned. “We have also seen results (of recent assembly polls) in three states – Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. A guess work before the elections does not mean results will be the same,” he mentioned.
The BJP received the polls in these three states. Asked about opposition events taking out rallies in Pune district towards the state authorities, Pawar mentioned a Lok Sabha MP from the NCP had expressed his willingness to step down as member of the Lower House of Parliament.
“When we gave him a ticket in 2019, he was popular because he played the role of Sambhaji Maharaj (in a TV serial) and was a good orator,” he mentioned apparently referring to Amol Kolhe, the Lok Sabha member from Shirur constituency in Pune who helps the NCP camp led by Sharad Pawar.
“I have decided on an alternative to him (in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls), and I can tell you now that my candidate will win the seat for sure,” mentioned Ajit Pawar, who together with eight different NCP leaders joined the Eknath Shinde-led state authorities in July this yr.
