The Shiv Sena (UBT) on Friday made a pitch for unity among Opposition parties ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, stating that the BJP can be defeated if all key leaders of these political outfits keep aside their ego and stick to their current stance of not keen on becoming the next prime minister.
The Uddhav Thackeray-led party also praised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, saying people have started liking his patience, and also stated that everyone needs to come out of the illusion that the Gandhi scion cannot be a match to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In an editorial in party mouthpiece ‘Saamana’, the Uddhav Thackeray-led party dubbed the BJP’s defeat in Karnataka as a bad omen for 2024 and also predicted that in the upcoming Assembly polls, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will lose Madhya Pradesh and the Congress will retain Chhattisgarh and in Rajasthan “magician” Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot will make the battle difficult for the saffron party.
Everyone should come out of the illusion that Rahul Gandhi cannot be a match to PM Modi. In fact, now Modi himself feels that the Gandhi scion poses a challenge to him, it claimed.
