Sharad Pawar commented on the PM’s statement that he “entered politics with his guidance”
Sharad Pawar apparently distanced himself from the race to be the opposition’s candidate for prime minister in the 2024 elections when he said he didn’t want to take on any responsibility at his age.
Veteran politician Sharad Pawar criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi today for saying that he should learn politics from him.
A reporter asked the leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) to respond to PM Modi’s remark that he “entered politics with Sharad Pawar’s guidance,” or “Sharad Pawar ki ungli pakad ke rajniti mein aage bade the”.
PM Modi claims to have entered politics while holding your finger, the reporter said.
I didn’t realise it would cost me so much, Sharad Pawar quipped.
In the same conversation, Sharad Pawar, 81, stated that he did not want to assume any responsibility at his advanced age, ostensibly withdrawing himself from consideration as an opposition candidate for prime minister in the 2024 general election.
He declared, “I will only assist in uniting non-BJP parties to incite public opinion against the BJP.
Since it first took office in 2014, the BJP-led government at the centre, according to Mr. Pawar, has broken a number of promises, including “bringing acche din (better times), connecting villages through the internet, and providing toilets, water, and power to every household.”
According to the former Union Minister, the BJP is removing smaller parties from states where the opposition is in power and using central agencies to advance its agenda.
“What the BJP is doing to its opponents is nothing more than a serious attack on parliamentary democracy. The saffron party is attempting to seize control by dividing the legislature in every state that isn’t under BJP rule. Maharashtra is the most recent instance “The Shiv Sena rebellion, which was supported by the BJP, is what brought down the Sena-NCP-Congress government, which had been in power for four years, Sharad Pawar said.
