PUNE: NCP (SCP) chief Sharad Pawar on Wednesday sought four to six months to effect a change in the state govt. The veteran leader is on a three-day tour of Baramati to review the drought situation in the tehsil.
He was visiting one of the villages on Wednesday where he told people that MVA wants to win the assembly election that may be held in October.Pawar came down heavily on the Mahayuti govt blaming it for not providing help to people, especially farmers facing an acute water crisis.
He said, “People in power should use it for the betterment of those who have voted for them to be in that position. Sadly, those in power now are not making people friendly decisions. Unless we change the govt, we cannot make people-friendly policies. I am seeking four to six months from you to make that change. We want to win the assembly poll so that we can set up our govt and make policies that help common people.”
He also criticised state govt for not giving a good price to dairy farmers and told them to get ready for a statewide agitation.
“Farmers can earn good money through milk production, but the state failed to provide a good price. We will have to put extra pressure on govt to get the desired results. I am ready to hit the streets for an agitation and all the farmers can join me in a statewide protest,” Pawar added.
‘Modi’s guarantee does not work anymore’Pawar said that during the Lok Sabha election campaign, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made various guarantees but the results showed that it does not work anymore.
“If people in power do not remain grounded, voters wait for the appropriate time to bring them back to the ground and they took the right call this election. They showed that Modi’s guarantee is not for all countrymen. They did not give him a clear mandate. It shows that his guarantees don’t work anymore,” Pawar said.
The veteran politician also said that the opposition will come together in Parliament and speak in one voice against the NDA coalition at the centre.
