What is the stand of NCP (SP) on One Nation, One Election?
Reportedly former Agriculture minister and rajya sabha mp sharad pawar met PM Modi in parliament House on wednesday (18 December). After this meeting, Pawar said that he talked about pomegranate farmers. Two farmers from Satara along with Pawar presented a gift of pomegranate to the PM. When sharad pawar was asked whether there was a discussion on maharashtra politics? He said no, there was no talk.
Perhaps regarding the meeting, the Prime Minister's office said that rajya sabha mp and former Union minister sharad pawar met prime minister Narendra Modi today with a group of farmers. Sharad Pawar's meeting with PM Modi has come at a time when bitterness was seen in the rhetoric during the recent maharashtra Assembly election campaign. In this election, the maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) suffered a crushing defeat. Sharad Pawar's party ncp (SP) is part of the MVA along with uddhav Thackeray's shiv sena (UBT) and Congress.
Moreover sharad pawar is considered a big leader of the opposition camp. In such a situation, many speculations are being made about his meeting with PM Modi during the winter session of Parliament. On tuesday (17 December) itself, ncp (SP) opposed the One Nation, One election Bill. mp and Sharad Pawar's daughter supriya sule said in the rajya sabha that this bill is against federalism. She also said that this bill should be withdrawn or it should be sent to the JPC. The lok sabha has sent the One Nation, One election Bill to the JPC for discussion.
