It seems that cracks have started developing in the India National Developmental Inclusive Alliance, especially after the main constituent of this conglomeration lost badly in four of the five states in the recently concluded assembly elections. Though the Congress party is not to be blamed for creating cracks in the new non BJP set up but the Nationalist Congress Party’s chief Sharad Pawar which itself confronted a major division few months ago has definitely given an opportunity to the media and BJP to make mockery of the new Alliance INDIA when he today objected to the name of veteran Congress leader, MP and chief Mallikarjun Kharge who was recommended by entire INDIA leaders except negligibly two, as the prospective prime ministerial candidate from the side of the non BJP alliance a conglomeration of 27 regional and national political parties.
According to the latest news the NCP supremo Sharad Pawar created quite a furore among the leaders of INDIA today when he negatively reacted over the name of Mallikarjun Kharge as INDIA PM candidate proposed by West Bengal CM and, TMC leader Mamata Banerjee and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal saying that there are no consequences if a prime ministerial face is not projected ahead of the 2024 general elections.
He responded to the question of media men who asked about his comments on the INDIA’s prospective prime minister candidate declared by INDIA and backed by all the political parties opposing BJP n NDA.
While substantiating his statement about no need to declare INDIA’s PM candidate before the national elections of 2024 , NCP leader Sharad Pawar said that when Janata Party government, a conglomeration of 22 political parties, was formed opposing the emergency of then PM Indira Gandhi in 1977, the name of its PM candidate wasn’t announced before. The then PM Morarji Desai was elected after the Janata Party alliance’s victory and made the PM.
He categorically said that during the 1977 elections no prime ministerial face was declared before the elections.
Prime minister Morarji Desai’s name was nowhere in existence before the polls. Morarji became PM after the election. Hence there is no need for declaring a prospective PM candidate said Pawar as it won’t be of any consequence. There won’t be any consequences if the PM face was not declared said Pawar adding that if the electorates of the country are in a mood to change they will definitely go for the change, come what may without declaring the name of the PM candidate said Sharad Pawar.
The statement of Sharad Pawar really shocked majority of the INDIA partners and leaders as on the day, the West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee recommended the name of Mallikarjun Kharge as one of the best PM candidates of INDIA being a Dalit face backed wholly by Delhi CM Arvind Kejrival and rest of the leaders of various constituents except Bihar CM Nitish Kumar etc. , no one resisted this proposal including NCP leader Pawar, but today after so may days he indirectly objected to it, sort of creating misunderstanding and cracks in the INDIA NATIONAL DEVELOPMENTAL INCLUSIVE ALLIANCE BLOC which is trying its best to counter the juggernaut of charismatic PM Narendra Modi in the forthcoming general elections.
Meanwhile, the Bihar CM Nitish Kumar who is considered to be the main architect of the first conclave of INDIA at Patna denied having objected to the proposal of Mamata Banerjee proposing the name of Mallikarjun Kharge as the prospective PM candidate from INDIA’S SIDE. He said he had already said that he isn’t interested and it was only after my rejection that the name of Kharge was proposed to which I gave my due consent said Bihar CM Nitish.
It may be recalled that being the senior most leader in ” INDIA”, and a history of creating divisions in Congress party, Sharad Pawar having been central minister several times and chief minister Maharashtra, his last wish is to be the PM but the division in his party with Eknath Shinde and his nephew Pawar shifting loyalties to BJP along with a large chunk of MLAs he suffered a huge setback. Hoping to win the jackpot in INDIA politics, being one of the important constituent to become PM, Pawar’s all hopes were dashed when the name of Mallikarjun Kharge as prospective PM candidate was declared by INDIA on the proposal and, recommendations of two CMs Mamata, Banerjee and Arvind Kejrival.
