On INDIA bloc's PM face, Sharad Pawar says ‘no consequence if not projected’; BJP takes ‘split’ dig

Hindustan Times  

There are no consequences if a prime ministerial face is not projected ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Nationalist Congress Party supremo Sharad Pawar said when asked about a potential candidate for PM from the Opposition-led INDIA bloc. The former Union minister's statement came came when some parties of the bloc reportedly concurred to project Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge's name as PM candidate. Mamata floated Kharge's name Last week, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee said she had proposed Kharge's name as a potential PM candidate on behalf of the alliance during the fourth INDIA bloc meeting in New Delhi. BJP weighs up ‘split’ in coalition Referring to Pawar's statement, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said, "Even Congress wasn’t happy about Kharge ji name pushed by didi".
