The Congress was in for a shock when its ally the NCP criticized them for its misrule and ineptitude.

What’s more, NCP leader and Union Minister Praful Patel also praise Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi.

“If Narendra Modi won in Gujarat because of the division of secular votes, it is time to introspect why it happened,” Patel said adding that people trust Modi. 

Patel said that the reason why the NCP candidates lost in Gujarat is because of Congress fielding candidates against them.

“Our bigger partner (the Congress) chose to pitch candidates against us in the state ignoring the sacrifice we have made all these years,” Patel said.

The NCP leader also went on to say that the Congress days as the single largest party is pretty much over.

“The days when only one party ruled are over.  For the next 25 years, it will be coalition politics and every party has its say,” Patel said, giving a clear indication that the NCP won’t be tied down from now on.
