Prahar Janshakti Party (PJP) president and MLA Omprakash alias Bacchu Kadu, a key ally of the ruling Mahayuti, held discussions with Nationalist Congress Party (SP) chief Sharad Pawar in Pune on Saturday.

After the meeting, Kadu announced that he would decide by September 1 whether to continue his association with the Mahayuti alliance. He emphasized that the focus of the meeting was on addressing issues faced by farmers, laborers, and persons with disabilities.

Kadu, during a rally in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar on Friday, had warned political parties that failing to meet the demands of farmers and the poor could result in losing over 10,000 votes in each constituency in the upcoming state assembly elections.
