Except Assam, BJP will lose elections in four other states

NCP chief Sharad Pawar claimed on Sunday that except Assam, the BJP will face defeat in four other states and the election trend in five states will give a new direction to the country.

Talking to reporters in Baramati town of Pune district in Maharashtra, Mr. Pawar, whose party is an ally of the Shiv Sena-led Maharashtra government, accused the Center of misusing its power in West Bengal.

Assembly elections in West Bengal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Assam and Puducherry (Union Territory) will be held in March-April this year and counting of votes will take place on 2 May.

“… Today it is wrong to talk about the results of five states because the people of these states will decide. As far as Kerala is concerned, the Left parties and NCP have come together and we are sure that we will get a clear majority.

In Tamil Nadu, people will support the DMK and its chief MK Stalin, and will come to power in the state after the elections, the former union minister said.

The NCP chief said, “In West Bengal, the Center, especially the BJP, is abusing power and trying to attack a sister (Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee) who is trying to fight for the people of the state . “

He said that the entire state has rallied against Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief Mamata Banerjee as it is a matter of Bengali pride and self-respect.

“I have no doubt that the Trinamool Congress will retain power under Ms. Banerjee’s leadership,” he said.

Mr Pawar further said that he knows the state of elections in Assam, and according to the input received from his party people, the BJP, which is currently in power, is in a “good position” compared to others.

“In short, the BJP will retain power in Assam, but will face defeat in other elections, and other political parties will come to power in those states. I am confident that this trend will give the country a new direction”, he said.

When asked by the NIA about the arrest of Mumbai Police officer Sachin Waze in connection with the recovery of an explosive-laden vehicle near the residence of industrialist Mukesh Ambani, Mr. Pawar termed the issue as “local” and did not comment, saying Not related to state policies.

Earlier in the day, when asked if Mr. Pawar was upset with Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh and demanded his removal, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut in Mumbai said, “Mr. Pawar Maha Vikas Agadi (MVA) guide Prakash. It led to the formation of this (Maharashtra) government. ”

While Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari did not approve the names suggested by the state cabinet for nomination as MLCs under the Governor’s quota, Mr. Pawar said it is the responsibility of the Governor to implement the Cabinet recommendation.

“In the history of Maharashtra, the state has not seen a governor who has not performed the responsibility given to him by the constitution. However, the current governor has done the magic, which is unfortunate.”

Mr. Pawar said that when Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, the latter complained about the obstacles being created by the then Governor.

“Today the same thing is happening in Maharashtra and the center is just becoming a spectator, which is worrying,” he said.
