The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Ajit Pawar on Monday released his party`s manifesto for the Lok Sabha elections 2024, highlighting that it will support the demand for a caste-based census, an issue its ally BJP has been side-stepping, reported the PTI.
Addressing a gathering in Mumbai, the Maharashtra deputy chief minister said that the NCP will also demand the Bharat Ratna, the country`s highest civilian award, for the late former Maharashtra chief minister and defence minister Yashvantrao Chavan, as per the PTI.
