A day after poll strategist Prashant Kishor met with Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Sharad Pawar, the second time within 10 days, this time in New Delhi on Monday, senior leaders of 15 opposition parties will meet at the Pawar’s residence in the national capital on Tuesday. The development reaffirms the notion that Pawar was attempting to explore the possibility of getting non-BJP parties together.
Kishor had met Pawar in Mumbai over lunch on June 11. While it was a one-on-one meeting on Monday, the one in Mumbai had been attended by Pawar’s family, party leaders and friends. The strategist had shared his experiences of winning West Bengal and Tamil Nadu. The NCP had said after the Mumbai meeting that Kishor wouldn’t work for the party, but did not rule out his collaboration with non-BJP parties for putting a powerful UPA-like front in place.
