He said, “Before the Lok Sabha elections 2019, people were angry with the Narendra Modi government. But the Pulwama attack changed the whole situation. Before the upcoming assembly elections, I have been seeing anger against the state government for the last few months.”
Sharad Pawar said that the NCP-BJP coalition is trying to bring secular forces together. “Congress and NCP have come together. We are trying to take Bahujan Vikas Agadi, Samajwadi Party and other smaller parties along with us.
