07 Jun 2023 Evaluate

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) supremo Sharad Pawar today said that there is currently an ‘anti-BJP wave’ and people of the country want change considering results of the recent Assembly polls in Karnataka.

Speaking at press conference in Aurangabad, Pawar said, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) faced defeat in the recently concluded assembly elections in Karnataka and Congress is back in power after a gap of five years. He said that the anti-BJP wave is coming and people are in the mood for change after seeing the Karnataka election results. If this attitude of people continues, there will be a positive change in the country in the coming elections. You don’t need any astrologer to tell you this, he added. He also claimed that small incidents in Maharashtra were being given a ‘religious colour’, which was not a good sign. Asked about the possibility that the Lok Sabha and Maharashtra Assembly polls may be held simultaneously, the NCP chief said many people from his party and allies are also of the same view. About the Telangana model (of giving financial assistance to farmers) being promoted in Maharashtra, Pawar said that Telangana is a small state and aid can be declared in such state. But he said he felt more funds should be spent on infrastructure work (related to agriculture).

The Lok Sabha elections are due in 2024, and the Maharashtra Assembly polls are also due in the later part of next year.
