NCP chief, March 15: Speaking to reporters in his home ground Baramati, Sharad Pawar said that the BJP will only win in Assam and the election trend in the five states will give a new direction to the country.
“It is wrong to talk about the results of the five states today as the people of these states will take the decision. As far as Kerala is concerned, the Left parties and the NCP have come together and we are sure that we will get a clear-cut majority,” he said.
“In Tamil Nadu, people will support DMK and its chief MK Stalin, and they will come to power in the state after the polls”, Sharad Pawar said.
“In West Bengal, the Centre, especially the BJP is misusing power and trying to attack a sister (referring to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee) who is trying to fight for the people of the state,” the NCP chief alleged.
“I have no doubt that the TMC will retain power under the leadership of Mamata Banerjee,” he said.
Sharad Pawar further said he knows the situation in poll-bound Assam, and as per the inputs received from his party people, the BJP, which is currently in power there, is in a “good position” compared to others.

“In a nutshell, the BJP will retain power in Assam, but will face defeat in other poll-bound states, and other political parties in those states will come to power. I am confident this trend will give a new direction to the country,” he said.
The Assembly elections in West Bengal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Assam and Puducherry (Union Territory) will be held in March-April this year and votes will be counted on May 2.
