In June 2023, Ajit Pawar claimed control over the NCP as he became the second deputy chief minister of Maharashtra, and eight other MLAs were inducted into the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government, in a reminder of his swearing-in with Fadnavis in 2019, which eventually fizzled out. His uncle and party founder vai de bet:Sharad Pawar termed it “robbery.” A legal battl🅰e ensued, which is still going on in the SC. The EC, however, recognised the Ajit Pawar-led faction as the real Nationalist Congress Party and granted them the “clock” symbol. The EC gave the name ‘Nationalist Congress Party — Sharadchandra Pawar’ to Pawar senior’s faction, with ‘a man blowing trumpet’ as the symbol for the Rajya Sabha elections.
ON PUTRI MOH
In an interview earlier, Home Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Amit Shah said that the NCP was split owing to Pawar’s “putri moh”. “I differ from the remarks that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) broke parties. We have not broken any party. Kai sari partiyan apne putra-putri ke moh me tut gayi…main phir se doharata hoon ki NCP aur Shiv Sena, dono partiyan putra, putri moh mein tut gayi,” Shah had said.
Pawar responded to it: “I have made other women leaders ministers, but avoided my daughter [Supriya Sule]. I don’t buy this theory,” he said.ON MAHA POLITICS
