However, leaders of the Mahavikas Aghadi Alliance (MVA) spoke the truth at the press conference. Everyone in the opposition front is dreaming of becoming the Prime Minister. Different parties are pushing for the names of their respective leaders from the meeting to be held in Mumbai. First Rahul Gandhi, then Sharad Pawar, then Nitish Kumar… and now Arvind Kejriwal’s name is coming up in this race.
These names have come up for the PM candidate
Aam Aadmi Party national spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar said that Arvind Kejriwal should be the face of the PM post. However, later Aam Aadmi Party distanced itself from this statement calling it his personal opinion. Meanwhile, Shiv Sena leader Priyanka Chaturvedi justified Priyanka Kakkad’s statement and said that if asked, she would also say that Uddhav Thackeray should be the PM candidate. Similarly, Samajwadi Party’s Juhi Singh took the name of Akhilesh Yadav.
Nitish Kumar in Janata Dal United, Mamata Banerjee in TMC, Akhilesh Yadav in Samajwadi Party have also been said from time to time. Congress is not behind in calling Rahul Gandhi the biggest face. It means one hundred candidates..many contenders for one position. It is obvious that the Bharatiya Janata Party is not shying away from naming leaders who aspire to be Prime Minister in the opposition.
Mamata Banerjee said- India will be the face of PM
Meanwhile, West Bengal CM and TMC chief Mamata Banerjee, who arrived in Mumbai for the opposition alliance meeting, expressed a different view about the PM candidate. He said, “India will be the face of the PM in the opposition coalition. Our fight is to save the country.”
But think about it. “PM Modi then who else?” Will his debate really prove to be a major loss for the opposition? If every party aspires to see its own leader as Prime Minister, the cadres might start preparing for the elections in earnest and put up a strong fight. It is possible that he will have some success. In such a situation, what is a bad thing to enter the battlefield with this confidence, that being said?
The same question was also asked to Uddhav Thackeray. He replied, “We have many choices to make PM. The question is what other choices does the BJP have other than Modi. Everyone is watching what the government has done.”
Seat sharing is also a big issue
Seat sharing is also a big issue with the PM candidate in the opposition coalition. There was no discussion on this in the first two meetings. Now the emphasis is on expanding the family. The second meeting held in Bengaluru had 26 parties. Now 28 parties will attend the meeting to be held in Mumbai. Sharad Pawar said that there is no discussion on the seats now.
What will happen in this meeting?
– There will be no announcement of PM face.
– There will be a discussion about the selection of the president.
– There will be no flags.
– Logo will be released.
– The theme song may be released.
– The Secretariat will be in Delhi.
– The main function of the Secretariat will be to discuss and find solutions to conflicts.
– An 11 member committee will be formed to run the secretariat.
– There will be three sub-groups, consisting of 6 members each.
– Seat distribution will be decided at the state level.
The strategy of contesting elections has not been decided yet
The most important question among all these is that what will be the strategy of contesting elections? A decision has not been taken regarding this yet. Given the current situation, a few things are clear:-
Competition between AAP and Congress.
How we will fight unitedly in Delhi and Punjab.
– AAP is busy expanding to other states as well.
– Due to this, many parties associated with India may also be offended.
– How will the ongoing rhetoric about the PM candidate be stopped?
– There is also a case of Congress vs Trinamool vs Left in Bengal.
– There is a split in the NCP in Maharashtra. What effect will this have?
– Will the situation like NCP be seen in other parties also?
Questions have been raised on how trustworthy Sharad Pawar is.
– There is a lot of conflict between regional parties in many states.
The opposition expressed fear of early elections
The opposition feels that the government may hold elections soon. Mamata Banerjee, Nitish Kumar have expressed the possibility of early elections.
Mamata Banerjee said that there is a possibility that the BJP may hold elections in December 2023. While Nitish Kumar said that BJP is likely to suffer more with time. BJP fears opposition unity.
The question is, is India ready for elections soon? Responding to this question, senior journalist Rashid Kidwai says, “There are a lot of misconceptions about the formation of the new opposition coalition INDIA. Those who are in the coalition and who have understanding, are not saying anything. But those who are not authorized. People, they Making statements. I think the biggest achievement of the Mumbai meeting will be that there will be a standing committee that will make statements about the coalition. 7 or 8 people will be appointed to talk about the coalition.”
At the same time, the BJP is also busy strengthening the NDA. While the opposition Alliance of India meeting is being held in Mumbai, the NDA parties will be meeting in Mumbai at the same time. Last time also when India’s meeting was held, NDA also showed its strength. It means that now NDA and India are seen face to face.
