Left, Congress to skip meeting of Yashwant Sinha’s Rashtra Manch
A day before hosting Opposition leaders at his Delhi residence, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar on Monday met election strategist Prashant Kishor, triggering speculation that a Third Front is taking shape ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha election. Mr Pawar's meeting with Mr Kishor — their second in the past 10 days — intensified speculation of a front where regional parties like NCP and Trinamool Congress will play a key role in taking on the Narendra Modi government, without according primacy to the Congress. Mr Kishor, however, denied that Tuesday’s meeting was being convened at his suggestion and clarified that he would not be part of it.
