He said, “In the last seven years, questions were raised like--Is there any alternative to Prime Minister Narendra Modi? Who will be an alternative to Bharatiya Janata Party? If Shiv Sena, Congress, and NCP can form a government under the leadership of (NCP Chief) Sharad Pawar in Maharashtra then in 2024, a government will be formed in the country under the leadership of Sharad Pawar.”
