With more seats going to Congress, he mentioned that it will be up to them to decide on the position, with consent required from other parties. He also expressed doubts about opposition parties securing the Deputy Speaker position in the Lok Sabha.
In terms of public sentiment, Pawar noted a decline in faith in the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, both in Maharashtra and beyond.
