While sharpening his verbal attack on his uncle - Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar and his faction - Deputy CM and rebel NCP faction leader Ajit Pawar on Monday said currently there was no alternative to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the country.
Speaking in Pune about the challenge thrown by the Opposition to PM Modi’s leadership ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha election, Mr. Pawar said, “As of now, there is no alternative to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the country. And this is based on various aspects and not just one or two things…questions like who will protect the country’s interests, in whose hands will the country be safer and stronger, who raised the country’s image on the international stage - these factors matter a lot.”
While Mr. Ajit Pawar has remained restrained in his criticism of his uncle against whom he rebelled by splitting the NCP in July this year, the Deputy CM stepped up the attack on the NCP patriarch.
