Last Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the decision about withdrawing the three farm laws that were facing strident protests on the Delhi borders and elsewhere.
The BJP-led central government would not have decided to repeal the three contentious farm laws had there been no elections scheduled in Uttar Pradesh and other states in the near future, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar today alleged today.
Last Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had made the announcement about withdrawing the three agricultural laws that were facing strident protests on the Delhi borders and elsewhere.
Speaking to reporters in Maharashtra's Satara district, Sharad Pawar asserted that the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in Maharashtra will complete its full five-year term, and expressed confidence that if elections are held now, the three-party alliance will once again come to power.
"There are elections in UP and other neighbouring states. As per our information, the people in power, when they visited the villages in some parts of these states, they got some different kind of reception from the locals. Considering this, they might have sensed the kind of treatment they will get when they go to seek votes. It seems that on that backdrop, this practical decision was taken," Sharad Pawar said.
