Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Sharad Pawar said when it comes to leadership, the Congress is unable to accept alternative views.
NCP chief Sharad Pawar today said those in the Congress should accept that their party no longer holds sway from "Kashmir to Kanyakumari" like it once did. He indicated that his partner in Maharashtra's ruling alliance should undertake a reality check. "There was a time when there was Congress from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. But not so anymore. This (reality) should be accepted. The closeness (with other opposition parties) will increase once there is a mentality (within Congress) to accept this (fact)," Mr Pawar said. "When it comes to leadership, my colleagues in the Congress are not in a mind to take a different point of view," he said told Mumbai Tak, the Marathi digital platform of the India Today group. Mr Pawar was informed that when told about West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee being the face of the united opposition for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, Congress leaders say they have Rahul Gandhi. "All parties, especially colleagues in the Congress, are not ready to take a different stance on their leadership," he said.More Related News
