New Delhi, June 23

Political strategist Prashant Kishor met Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) supremo Sharad Pawar here on Wednesday, a day after leaders of eight opposition parties gathered at Pawar’s residence and discussed various issues facing the country.

According to sources, the closed-door discussions between Kishor and Pawar, held at the latter’s residence in Delhi, lasted for about an hour. This was their third meeting within a fortnight.

These meetings with Pawar has fuelled speculations about the possibility of opposition parties coming together to form a third front against the BJP. Pawar on Tuesday hosted a meeting of the leaders of eight opposition parties.

However, leaders who attended the meeting asserted it was a “non-political” meeting of like-minded individuals by Rashtriya Manch floated by TMC vice-president Yashwant Sinha. — PTI
