New Delhi: Amid buzz about forging a third front, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao met his Maharashtra counterpart Uddhav Thackeray and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on Sunday (February 20, 2022).
Reacting to the development, Union minister Ramdas Athawale said that even if Uddhav's Shiv Sena, KCR's Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and other parties come together to form a third front at the national level, there will be no threat to the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
"We are working under the leadership of Narendra Modi and people are happy. Even if the Shiv Sena and other parties form a third front, it will not affect us. In 2024, BJP will again come to power," he said and added that "we will win" in five states where Assembly polls are currently on.
The statement came after KCR called on Thackeray and Pawar in Mumbai as part of efforts to bring together like-minded parties against the BJP at the national level.
