"Not A Third Front Meet": On Talks At Sharad Pawar's, A Clarification

Former Union Minister Yashwant Sinha tweeted last evening that Nationalist Congress Party leader Sharad Pawar was hosting a meeting of his "Rashtra Manch", a political action group he set up in 2018.

Veteran politician Sharad Pawar is "not hosting a third front meeting", it was clarified hours before what now appears to be a gathering of politicians and intellectuals to "debate current events". Former Union Minister Yashwant Sinha, a former BJP leader who recently joined the Trinamool Congress, tweeted last evening that Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Sharad Pawar was hosting a meeting of his "Rashtra Manch", a political action group he set up in 2018. "We shall have a meeting of the Rashtra Manch tomorrow at 4 PM. Sri Sharad Pawar has kindly agreed to host the meeting at his place," Mr Sinha said. Those associated with the event were at pains to clarify that the gathering has nothing to do with putting together a Third Front to fight Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP in the 2024 election.
