Mumbai, 6/5: A common minimum programme of the Opposition will be prepared ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Nationalist Congress Party president Sharad Pawar said on Saturday. He will play a role in bringing opposition parties together, Pawar said in his hometown Baramati in Pune district a day after he withdrew his decision to give up the party post.
In the next 10-11 months, elections will be taking place in a number of places…..Leaders like Nitish Kumar, Arvind Kejriwal, Chandrashekar Rao, Mamata Banerjee are trying to unite the Opposition,” he told reporters.
“I will participate in bringing the Opposition together by creating a common minimum programme,” Pawar added. Asked about rumours surrounding the plans of senior NCP leader and his nephew Ajit Pawar, he said, “An atmosphere of confusion is being created regarding Ajit Pawar. There was talk that he will join the BJP, but has anything happened?” Ajit Pawar is someone who loves to work on the ground, and there was no truth to the speculation about him, the NCP chief further said.
