Stating that the political wind in neighbouring Karnataka favoured the Congress, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on May 7 said that the Congress would win the upcoming Karnataka Assembly election.
Speaking in Pandharpur, in Solapur district, Mr. Pawar, hinting that the BJP was not in a good situation in the run-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha election, said that the saffron party was in power in “just five-six States” currently while the remaining States had non-BJP governments.
“As per the information I have received, Congress will come to power in Karnataka. As far as the whole country is concerned, we will start with Kerala. Is the BJP there in Kerala? In Tamil Nadu? In Telangana? Andhra Pradesh? In Maharashtra, owing to Eknath Shinde’s crafty move [intra-party revolt which split the Shiv Sena], they managed to come to power in the State,” he said.
