Prakash Ambedkar, president, VBA
Showing loss of faith in the Shiv Sena (UBT) and Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar), the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi has lent its support to the Congress, a Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) constituent, in seven constituencies. Following the MVA`s offer for four Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra, VBA President Prakash Ambedkar has extended his support through a letter to the Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge. “The Shiv Sena (UBT) and Nationalist Congress Party (SP) have refused to listen to VBA’s representatives in the numerous MVA meetings and we have lost faith in both of these parties due to their unequal attitude towards VBA in the MVA,” he wrote.
Ambedkar recalled his brief meeting with Kharge and Rahul Gandhi at the culmination of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Mumbai on March 17. Ambedkar had made a brief speech like other guest speakers at the rally but didn`t forget to tell the MVA what his party stood for. “We could not engage in an extensive conversation and hence I am writing to you today [Tuesday]. The schedule of the elections has been announced and MVA has been meeting continuously without inviting VBA for any discussions or meetings.”
