NCP scotches talk of Pawar heading UPA
[ad_1]
As studies surfaced of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar being requested to steer the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) forward of 2024 common elections, the NCP stated no such discussions have been held.
“There are unsubstantiated reports in the media regarding our national President Sharad Pawar taking over as the chairperson of the UPA. Nationalist Congress party would like to clarify that there is no discussion within UPA partners regarding any such proposal. The reports appearing in the media seems to be have been planted by vested interest to divert the attention from the ongoing farmers agitation,” stated Mahesh Tapase, chief spokesperson of the get together.
Earlier within the day, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar too had denied such motion. “Pawar Saheb has excellent relations with leaders across parties, regardless of whether he is in power or opposition. UPA decides its strategy by sitting together and as of now we have not heard any movement regarding changes at the helm,” he stated.
However, NCP MP from Raigad, Sunil Tatkare stated Mr Pawar has expertise and might convey everybody collectively. “Pawar saheb is the one who ensured formation of Maharashtra government. If all UPA parties decide, then it can happen as he has the experience and can bring everyone together,” stated Mr. Tatkare.
Shiv Sena too had welcomed the transfer, saying Mr Pawar is a frontrunner who can convey all events collectively. “I don’t see any other leader of this stature. Opposition needs a strong leadership which can take along regional parties. I see only Sharad Pawar in that role,” Sena’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut stated.
