Pawar stated there was a suggestion to place up joint opposition candidates in opposition to the BJP and this situation can be mentioned on the assembly in Patna on June 23. “There has been a suggestion that where BJP is strong, if possible, non-BJP parties can field a single candidate. This will be discussed in Patna.”
“The meeting in Patna will give a new direction as people want change. We will make sincere efforts to meet the expectations of the people,” he stated.
On incidents of communal violence in Maharashtra, Pawar stated the folks of the state will reject such divisive politics as they did in Karnataka.
The NCP chief alleged that the BJP and its allied organisations have been vitiating the ambiance in Maharashtra “as they did in Karnataka in the name of Lord Hanuman.”
“But the people of Karnataka rejected the communal agenda. I am confident that the people of Maharashtra too will not accept it,” Pawar stated.
On threats to him over social media, Pawar stated he trusts Maharashtra Police and is assured that it’s going to do its job sincerely.
