Poll strategist Prashant Kishor told India Today that he will not be part of the informal meeting to be hosted by NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Tuesday. The meeting of Rashtra Manch, a political forum established by Yashwant Sinha, is scheduled to be held at Pawar's 6 Janpath residence in New Delhi. "I rule out association with any such third front gathering," Prashant Kishor told India Today. The political strategist went on to say that he does not believe that a third or fourth front can challenge the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Interestingly, Prashant Kishor met Sharad Pawar at the latter's official residence in New Delhi on Monday. The meeting lasted for nearly three hours and was the second such interaction between the poll strategist and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief over a period of 10 days.
