Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Monday said that as of now there is no alternative to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the country. Pawar was replying to a question by reporters on the opposition parties planning to challenge Modi\u2019s leadership ahead of the Lok Sabha elections due next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talking to the media, Ajit Pawar said you people do a lot of propaganda. He asked questions like who raised the country\u2019s image at the international stage?, who will protect the country\u2019s interests?, in whose hands the country will be safer and stronger? these questions matter a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pawar said everybody has seen the results in three states Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. He said a guess work before the election does not mean results will be the same. The BJP won the elections in these three states. When he was asked about opposition parties taking out rallies in Pune district against the state government, Pawar said a Lok Sabha MP from the NCP had expressed his willingness to step down as member of the Lower House of parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pawar said when NCP gave Amol Kolhe a ticket in 2019, he was popular because he played the role of Sambhaji Maharaj (in a TV serial) and was a good orator. Amol Kolhe is a Lok Sabha member from Shirur constituency in Pune who supports the NCP camp led by Sharad Pawar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pawar said he had decided an alternative to him (in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections), and he was confident that the candidate will win the seat for sure. Sharad Pawar along with 8 NCP leaders had joined the Eknath Shinde-led state government in July this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
