Confident of getting majority to form Government at the Centre, the BJP on Wednesday ruled out the possibility of taking support from the NCP. “There is no possibility of NCP coming with NDA. We will not feel their need,” senior BJP leader Gopinath Munde said, responding to a query on whether NDA will take support of the Sharad Pawar-led outfit.
Munde, along with other senior leaders from the State, assessed the party’s performance in 24 seats it contested in the recently-concluded lok Sabha elections. “This time our alliance (Mahayuti — alliance of five parties) will win more than 35 seats in Maharashtra. We have got this report from our party workers,” he claimed.
Stressing that he would take the responsibility entrusted to him by the next Prime Minister and by his party, if NDA formed the Government, he said, “Ministry should not be sought, it is the right of the PM to allocate the berth. Our PM will take the decision on my role.”
