Devendra Fadnavis reacts over Prashant Kishor-Sharad Pawar meeting

Political strategist Prashant Kishor on Friday met NCP chief Sharad Pawar at his 'Silver Oak' residence in Mumbai. After the meeting, BJP leader and Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis was questioned about their meeting.

"There is no restriction on who should visit whom. Be it the people of the opposition, or the leaders of the ruling party. Everyone is creating their own strategy. No matter how many strategies are devised, Modi is still there and will remain in 2024. Devendra Fadnavis has expressed confidence that the BJP government will come under Modi's leadership even in the 2024 elections," said Fadnavis. 

Prashant Kishor met NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Friday. The meeting lasted for nearly 3 hours. This is Kishor''s first meeting with Pawar after the victory of the DMK and the TMC in the assembly elections in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal respectively. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar downplayed the meeting, saying that Kishor has already said he will not be a political strategist any more. Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut said many leaders are in touch with Kishor, while NCP's Chhagan Bhujbal said he was no aware of the agenda of the meeting. Stating that Kishor was a successful political strategist, Bhujbal said he was sure that Pawar will take into account Kishor's suggestions.
