AHMEDABAD: NCP supremo Sharad Pawar today said all the like-minded parties need to come together to counter the BJP.
He also said that with Yogi Adityanath becoming the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, “mandir-masjid” politics may get a boost.
“Looking at the kind of support BJP has garnered in the Assembly elections, it is very clear that all the like-minded parties need to come together (to face it),” said Pawar, who was here to inaugurate NCP’s new office.
“All the (non-BJP) parties need to do introspection about their shortcomings. To provide a strong alternative to BJP, it is necessary that all the like-minded parties come together,” he said, speaking to reporters.
Asked if any talks had started for this purpose, he said he wasn’t aware.
“It is a suggestion. As of now, no detailed discussions have been held….If NCP gets a proposal to be a part of such alliance, we will respond positively,” he said. (AGENCIES)
