A meeting of some leaders of Opposition parties and public intellectuals to be convened at the residence of Sharad Pawar’s Delhi residence, on Tuesday, has once again triggered rumours of the NCP supremo taking the lead in stitching up a non-Congress, non-BJP coalition. That news of Tuesday’s meeting became public soon after Pawar had another round of discussions with election strategist Prashant Kishor has further added heft to the speculations over a possible federal front being cobbled together. However, former union minister and Trinamool Congress leader Yashwant Sinha, who will co-chair the meeting with Pawar, has told Outlook that Tuesday’s deliberations have “nothing to do with Prashant Kishor” and that discussion on forming a electoral alliance of Opposition parties, minus the Congress, “is not on the agenda”.
