In Maharashtra, the opposition seems to be battered in front of the grand alliance, which came to power with a three -fourth majority. The Congress is weak and Shiv Sena and NCP are divided into two factions. One section of NCP is with power and the other with Sharad Pawar. Tuesday i.e. June 10 is the foundation day of the Nationalist Congress Party, where both factions will show strength in different programs in Pune. But the most speculations are being made about whether Sharad Pawar will move towards the merger of the party with his nephew amid the loose grip in the party.
Will Pawar put his seal when he comes to power with BJP? Body elections are to be held in Maharashtra after a few months, so today everyone’s eyes are on the programs to be held in Pune. Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar faction is being demonstrated at Shivaji Sports Complex, where a crowd of more than 50 thousand people is likely to gather, while Sharad Pawar is celebrating NCP Foundation Day program in Shivaji Nagar, where there was a very little crowd in the morning. Both programs are taking place at a distance of 10 kilometers. This Foundation Day program is considered very important amid the fragrance of merger between the two groups.
There is a wonderful coincidence in the politics of Maharashtra, when two parties are also in power and in the opposition. One group of NCP is in power and the other in opposition. The same situation is with Shiv Sena. The BJP itself has a strong majority, but it is running the government with Shiv Sena Shinde and NCP’s Ajit Pawar faction. When Pawar founded the NCP 26 years ago, he took a big step by bringing forward young leaders of education, agriculture, cooperative organizations from different parts of the state. One of them was his nephew Ajit Pawar. Ajit Pawar influenced everyone with his strategic understanding and ability to connect the organization. Today the bet has overtaken. The nephew has taken command of NCP by cheating uncle Sharad Pawar. Along with being in power, the big leaders of the organization have also attracted towards them.
Political analysts say Sharad Pawar has never joined hands with BJP. But Sharad Pawar, who is facing age compulsions, has given command to his daughter Supriya Sule. In such a situation, they can put the option of decisions like coming with NCP or joining hands with BJP. This will also fulfill Pawar’s promise and he will be able to come to power with NCP.
The Election Commission has also officially approved Ajit Pawar’s faction as a real NCP. They have also found the party’s election symbol clock. Senior leaders like Chhagan Bhujbal, Prafulla Patel are also with Ajit Pawar. The NCP Sharad Pawar faction in the Bal Gandharva Rang Mandir and the events of Ajit Pawar faction in Shivaji Maharaj Sports Complex can be guessed on which side the political winds are flowing.
Recently, NCP MP Supriya Sule, who returned from India’s diplomatic mission after Operation Sindoor, has described Ajit Pawar as his brother. Also praised the Modi government. Therefore, NCP workers have also started talking about solidarity between the two parties.
