Can't leave Congress out of alternative front to fight BJP: Sharad Pawar

Mumbai/IBNS: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar has said the Congress cannot be left out of any alternative front to take on the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

"An alliance was not discussed in the (Rashtra Manch) meeting but if an alternative force is to be raised, it will be done only by taking Congress together. We need power like that and I had said this in that meeting," the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

He also urged for "collective leadership" if any front is considered.

On being asked if he would lead the new front, he quipped: "Sharad Pawar has tried this many times before."

Sharad Pawar's meetings with political strategist Prashant Kishor have generated several speculations over the past few weeks for a possible united fight against the ruling BJP in the 2024 national election as well as the Assembly poll due to be held in Uttar Pradesh next year.
