By PTI

MUMBAI: Amid experiences of cracks throughout the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in Maharashtra, senior Congress chief Prithviraj Chavan talked about all was correctly throughout the three-party alliance and it’ll fight future elections as a united strain in direction of the Eknath Shinde-BJP authorities throughout the state.

After the MVA’s first joint rally held in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, beforehand Aurangabad, on April 2, experiences of variations throughout the alliance are rife as they cited former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray getting preferential treatment on the event and state Congress chief Nana Patole staying away from most people meeting.

Terming the Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis dispensation as “unholy”, Chavan talked about the MVA alliance comprising the Congress, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena, was determined to defeat the incumbent authorities throughout the subsequent Assembly elections scheduled in 2024.

In an interview to PTI, the earlier Maharashtra chief minister talked about there was nothing to take a place on who would lead the opposition alliance as all companions had been “equal”.

He moreover alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was afraid of Rahul Gandhi’s recognition and the questions he raised on the Adani concern, and that was the rationale why the PM did not want him in Parliament.

Gandhi was disqualified as a Lok Sabha member on March 24, a day after he was convicted by a courtroom in Gujarat’s Surat in a authorized defamation case.

On a question regarding the MVA, Chavan talked about, “All of us who believe in democracy have come together to fight as a united force against the current so-called Shiv Sena-Fadnavis government. Rallies will be conducted as decided. All is well in the MVA and we will face the forthcoming elections together.”

When requested whether or not or not the MVA unity was merely on paper given the joy about Uddhav Thackeray getting specific treatment on the MVA’s joint rally, absence of excellent Congress leaders there and experiences of the dearth of enthusiasm throughout the grand earlier celebration, Chavan talked about as per the understanding reached by the three companions, each rally will possible be helmed by one celebration.

“Protocol-wise, Uddhav Thackeray being the former chief minister enjoyed a higher protocol than other people during the Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad) rally. It was decided that two leaders from each party will speak (at every rally). It was a conscious decision of not having too many leaders on the stage. Different leaders will address different rallies in different parts of the state,” he talked about.

“There is no need for speculation. State Congress president Nana Patole did not attend (the rally) due to some other important commitments. Media and BJP can speculate that all is not well in the MVA. But I would like to assure everyone in the state that the way politics has shaped up in the last one year, we are determined to see the end of this unholy government of Shinde and Fadnavis,” the Congress MLA added.

The three allies have decided to hold joint rallies in all the revenue divisions of the state as an attempt to bolster the unity efforts on the grassroot diploma.

To a query on whether or not or not Uddhav Thackeray was heading the MVA, Chavan talked about there was nothing to take a place on who would lead the alliance.

“We are all equal. We will go without any pre-determined leader. What is important is to defeat the current government. There is no question why the Congress should feel that it is a junior partner or less important partner of the alliance. We are equal partners. Congress has mass appeal and it will be seen in the upcoming local bodies polls,” he maintained.

On being requested if steps had been being taken to fight elections collectively, Chavan talked about, “We are seized of the requirement that we should come together. A dialogue is on at an appropriate level.”

On the issue of Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification as an MP, Chavan talked about, “It is very obvious that PM Modi is afraid of Rahul Gandhi’s popularity or the questions raised by him over the Adani issue. Either way, he is afraid and doesn’t want Rahul Gandhi in Parliament. You get immunity in your speeches in Parliament and it is freely reported in the media. We saw the spectacle of the ruling party disrupting Parliament and not letting the opposition have its minimum say.”

“Modi is scared of the questions raised and popularity of Rahul Gandhi after the Bharat Jodo Yatra. The ruling party is scared of questions raised by Rahul Gandhi on Adani and the PM doesn’t want to face or answer the questions,” he talked about.

Replying to a query whether or not or not Gandhi’s disqualification will end result within the opposition unity ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, Chavan, who represents the Karad South Assembly constituency in Maharashtra, talked about opposition occasions had been coming collectively as draconian authorized pointers had been misused.

“If it can happen to the leader of the largest opposition party, it can happen to every political leader. Unless we fight this menace unitedly, there will be no democracy and opposition left. Hope the unity goes up to 2024. We will work on friendly allocation of seats. We will try to have one party from the opposition bloc putting up its candidate against a BJP nominee,” he added.

A dialogue is on at relevant ranges for an opposition unity ahead of the 2024 regular elections, Chavan talked about.

Expressing disappointment over the selection of not holding elections to the Congress Working Committee (CWC), the easiest decision-making physique of the celebration, Chavan talked about these polls would have strengthened the grand earlier celebration and made it further democratic.

“No party will benefit if it is not run democratically,” he talked about.
