If Sharad Pawar is forming anti-BJP front, it's welcome: Prithviraj Chavan

Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan said Sharad Pawar is meeting opposition parties, and if he is fighting BJP, it’s welcome. He asked why Congress should be worried about it

All may not be well in Maharashtra’s Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress government. Congress leader and former Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan has added fuel to the fire by saying his party should fight the next election independently. India Today Consulting Editor Rajdeep Sardesai spoke to Prithviraj Chavan. Excerpts: Q: Is the experiment with the Maharashtra coalition reaching an endpoint? Not at all. The government was formed with the purpose of keeping the BJP out. Because they had messed up the state. Our objective remains the same. Congress is not so strong in certain districts and is trying to motivate its cadre.
