New Delhi: The NCP on Friday said that there is “certain anti-incumbency” factor in Lok Sabha elections against UPA after 10 years in power but dismissed suggestions of a “Modi wave”.
“When you talk of a wave, it is a two-thirds majority,” Tripathi told reporters here, noting that since 1989, no political party has got even a simple majority.
The NCP leader said that party chief Sharad Pawar has asked him to campaign in Amethi and Rae Barely from where Rahul and Sonia Gandhi are contesting.
He said that Pawar and party leader Praful Patel are likely to campaign for Congress candidates in Varanasi and Vadodara respectively.
Tripathi said that Congress should finalise its candidate for Varanasi and if Congress cannot decide on its nominee, NCP is ready to field its candidate.
“Even I am ready to contest elections against Modi,” he said.
