TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar has said the Bharatiya Janata Party may emerge as the single largest party in the Lok Sabha elections, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi is unlikely to get a second term in office. He was talking to reporters on the sidelines of a function in Mumbai.
“The BJP may emerge as the single largest party post parliamentary elections and will have to seek support of allies (to form the government). In that scenario, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is unlikely to get a second term,” Pawar said. The former Union minister said he will meet some regional parties across the country on March 14 and 15 in New Delhi, where further strategy of ‘mahagathbandhan’ (grand alliance) will be discussed.
When asked about some regional parties going away from the Congress and NCP alliance in Maharashtra, Pawar said, “I appreciate the PWP for extending support to the NCP in the Lok Sabha election. NCP has also held talks with the Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatna (SSS) for seat-sharing, but the farmers’ front has some expectations from the Congress as well. It will be decided by these two parties.”
