63 representatives from 28 political parties to attend third meeting of INDIA alliance: Sharad Pawar

As many as 63 representatives from 28 political parties will attend the third meeting of INDIA alliance meet on August 31 and September 1, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar said.

Pawar said there has been no discussion on seat sharing within INDIA. He said there is no confusion over NCP. People will teach those who have left a lesson, he added, targeting estranged nephew Ajit Pawar who joined the Eknath Shinde-led government in Maharashtra last month.

Asked about BSP chief Mayawati, Pawar said, it is not known on whose side she is. Earlier she has had dialogue with BJP. Former chief minister and Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray said the alliance of opposition parties belonging to different ideologies has a common objective of protecting democracy.
