Sharad Pawar will be convinced: Praful Patel
Sharad Pawar will continue to be our idol and we want him to accept the political decision taken by us, Patel told reporters in Nagpur. We’ll convince them. He also said that the no-confidence motion against the Narendra Modi government brought by the Congress was a sham. Patel said, it shows the desperation of the opposition and they also know that considering the numbers BJP has in the Lok Sabha, no-confidence motion has no meaning.

He said that it is not easy to provide a stable alternative to the opposition party the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (I.N.D.I.A). He said such initiatives had failed in 1977, 1989 and 1996 as well, as they lead to political and economic instability. Patel also said that the friendship between the NCP and the BJP is strong. We fully support the third term of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said. It is necessary to have a stable government with one face, on whom the people trust. It is need of the hour.

Ajit Pawar will get a chance to become the CM in future: Praful Patel
NCP’s Rajya Sabha MP Praful Patel on Thursday said that Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar is a popular and veteran leader and will get an opportunity to become the Chief Minister. Asked about such speculations, Patel told reporters in Nagpur that the post (of CM) is not vacant, so why talk about it. Ajit Pawar is a popular and veteran leader, he said. He is leading our party since many years. Those who work, they get a chance today, tomorrow or the day after. Many people got the chance. Ajit Dada will also get a chance, if not today then tomorrow or anytime in future. We will work towards that.
